Kindergarten Coach Pitch

Kindergarten Coach Pitch, or “Kindy Coach Pitch”, is a new division that we have piloted for 2 years.  This division allows league age 6 kids an opportunity to play a slightly more challenging game with a moving ball and actual outs, but is also adaptive for kids at varying skill levels. Parents considering signing up their player for this division should consider whether the kid has the coordination, attention span for hit balls, and emotional maturity to handle outs.

1. Introduction to Hitting and Fielding

• Learning to hit a moving ball and introducing outs.
• Coach pitch with a safety ball, occasional tee use
• Adaptive rules through the season to keep the play challenging but appropriate

2. Team Selection Criteria

• Coach/teammate requests
• Siblings
• School affiliations
• Requires one year of tee ball experience or coach approval

3. Practice and Game Schedule

• During the pre-season, teams typically have two practices per week.
• Once the season begins, there is one weeknight practice and one Saturday game per week.

4. Practice Location

• Upper Ross Park or Upper Woodland
