Tee Ball is the entry level division for players ages 4-6. The experience is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals while also being a key to growing a player's love for the game. The goal at seasons' end is that players have had a fun and informative experience and are prepared to take the next step in lower division programs.
Schedule
1 event per week (90 minutes), Saturdays. The first half is practice, the second half is a game. All games are played in Lake Stevens at Mt. Pilchuck Elementary School.
This Division Program is ideal for Players who:
- Have never played Little League or had one year of Tee Ball with another program (i9, YMCA, etc.)

- Benefit from a slower pace and more guided instruction
What a player and family should expect:
- Hitting from a tee, using a tee ball bat and tee balls specific to their division
- Introduction to base running, fielding positions, field layout
- Introduction to throwing, catching and defensive awareness
- A fun and safe environment that prompts sportsmanship, teamwork, listening and attention
