(Coach Pitch & TBall)

It’s the time of the year to play baseball with the Franklin Recreation Department.  Come and join us for our summer youth baseball leagues.

These are great programs which teach the basics of baseball/softball within a fun environment.

There will be two weeks of practice before games begin. Once games begin there will be one game day and one practice day per week. 

Registration Deadline: May 3, 2026

You are not guaranteed to be on a team if you register after the deadline.

*Volunteer coaches are needed. Coaches will receive a 50% refund at the end of the season*

The head coaches will notify their team once the rosters have been made with team schedules. 

Practices will begin the week of June 2nd. Schedule TBD. 

Coaches meeting: Comm Ed and Rec Center - Community Room:  May 11th @ 6 pm.

Games will run Mondays (Tball) and Tuesdays  (Coach Pitch) night from June 14 – July 20. 

LOCATION: Country Dale Baseball Fields

***Note:  All children must bring a baseball glove each practice/game.

T-Ball 

Boys & Girls, Ages 4-5

T-Ball is the entry level to baseball.  There’s no pitching, rather the batter hits the ball off a stationary batting “T.” During T-Ball, your child will develop the primary skills of hitting, running, fielding and throwing.  The players will gain an understanding of the fundamentals, which allows for minimal competitive league play. NO scores will be kept and each player will have a chance to bat each inning. 

PRACTICES: Start June 2, 3 or 4 on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evenings for 45 mins from 4:45-7:00 pm depending on coaches availability.

GAMES: Mondays, June 14 – July 19

TIME: 5:15-6pm or 6:15-7pm.    *Games last 50 minutes. Schedule will be set once registration closes. 

Coach Pitch

Boys & Girls, Ages 6-8

Coach Pitch allows the coaches to pitch to their team based on each player’s needs.  Coaches will modify their speed and distance depending on the ability of the players.  The purpose of the league will be to continue teaching the players about baseball concepts and work on improvement of basic skills, including hitting, throwing, catching and fielding the ball. Please register under the correct age
