Baseball / T-Ball
Age to start:
Children can begin to participate in T-Ball from the age of 5 years. T-Ball is a modified version of the game aimed at introducing children to basic skills and principles of baseball.
Rules of the game:
The basic rules of baseball are;
- The game is played between two teams consisting of nine players on each time.
- The object of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team.
- A batter tries to hit the ball and then run around the bases. Once the batter runs around the bases and makes it back to home plate they have scored a run.
- A fielding team tries to get the batter out before they reach home plate. A fielding team dismisses the batting team once they have got three of their batters out. It is then their turn to bat.
- The field consists of three bases and a home plate laid out in a diamond formation.
