Baseball is a great summer team sport that all kids of any age or ability can enjoy. Boys and girls as young as 4 can start with T-Ball and Little League, and they can keep playing through the leagues right into adulthood. If you want your Brisbane child to learn teamwork, cooperation, hand-eye coordination and stay fit and healthy, then check out our list for a junior baseball club near you! Sign-on days and try-outs are in July and August.
HOW IT WORKS:
T-Ball and Rookie Ball are entry-level programs for kids from 4-9 years of age. No prior experience required, and kids have heaps of fun! In T-Ball (U8) players hit the ball from a tee. Players in Rookie Ball (ages 7-9) play from a ball pitched by an adult, learning to hit a moving target.
Junior Baseball and Little League are for players U14 to U20 who want to play competitively. Players aged from 10 to 12 years can join and play opposing teams in Little League before progressing to Junior Baseball Leagues in high school.
