YOUTH SPORTS EVERYONE PLAYS, EVERYONE WINS! At the Y, we’re as interested in developing character as we are in building athletes. We do not conduct tryouts to select the best players, nor do we cut children from YMCA Youth Sports. All team members receive equal practice time and play at least one half of every game.

T-BALL AGES 3-6 COACH PITCH BASEBALL AGES: 7-10

YMCA Baseball teaches children the fundamentals of the game. Participants learn different positions and basics, including hitting, throwing, catching and running the bases in a team atmosphere. The focus is to learn, have fun, meet new friends and play in a non-competitive environment.
