T-Ball, Instructional Baseball/Softball

START SMART T-BALL is a developmentally appropriate introductory baseball program for children 3 and 4 years old. The program prepares children for organized t-ball, baseball and softball in a fun non-threatening environment without the worry of competition or the fear of getting hurt. It is a parent/guardian participation program. Every child must have a partner. Siblings over 13 may also help. Because this is a partnership program, teammate requests are not taken for this division. Age appropriate equipment is used in teaching throwing, catching, batting, running and agility. It is a clinic/instruction based program with light game play as the season progresses.

Schedule info: Each Start Smart session will be maxed at 20 participants and will follow the same instruction. This group will meet once a week on Saturday mornings at Memorial Fields near Burns School for 45 minutes. Register for the session that works best for your schedule – session options are at either 9AM, 10AM, or 11AM. Season dates are April 27th through June 8th.

Start Smart T-Ball registration fee: $55.00 Residents & $60.00 for Non-Residents

Participants should have their own catching gloves. We will provide all other necessary equipment. All shared equipment provided by SPR will be sanitized between practices. For those that would prefer to provide their own helmets and bats, families are responsible for monitoring use of personal equipment during practice if they are not intended to be shared.

Participants ages 6 and over should consult the Little League age chart to determine if they are eligible for that program. For more information, registration options, and contact info, click here for Saco Little League website.
