Little League
Why Little League?
Little League is a great introduction to baseball for all age groups and provides local, no travel sport for our players!
T-Ball
If you are registering your baseball player for T-Ball, they will play from 6:15pm - 7:00pm (subject to change) at Prairie Waters School 201 Invermere Drive, Chestermere, AB T1X 1M6 on either Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays from the first week of May through the end of June.
Players will be provided with a hat and a team shirt. Please also come prepared with clothing for all types of weather (jackets, pants, hats, bug spray, etc.) and water.
Due to the short amount of time we have for practice, we will not break for snacks, so please make sure your little ball player is all powered up before you arrive. If you need to have your little player take a break, that is fine, we just won't be taking a team break.
Equipment: Will need a glove, a batting helmet, a protective cup/jill, running shoes (or baseball cleats) and appropriate shorts/pants (uniforms are not necessary at this age)
