Coach Pitch and 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: Wednesday, May 14th You are not guaranteed to be on a team if we do not have enough coaches. We will put you on a waitlist and contact you if a spot open. The head coaches will notify their team once the rosters have been made with team schedules. 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. Games will be on Mondays, starting June 16th between 5:15pm-7:00pm. Games last 50 minutes - Schedule TBD. 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. Games will be on Tuesdays, starting June 17th between 5:15pm-7:00pm. Games last 50 minutes - Schedule TBD.
