Check with your local little league. I think they have to be 5 yrs. by a certain cut off date.
4 - We have already played 4 games this season. Season end I believe the first week in June. We started practice 2nd week in April and opening day was last week in April. We still have a few weeks left.Quote:

THAT IS GREAT. just keep the expectations down. kids 4-6 dont play positions, they play in dirt, they day dream. they are really just out playing whatever. some don't listen for anything. you might have 3 on a team if you are lucky that you can look to to play a whole game

No doubt...... All the kids were into it the first couple of games but the more games we play the less they are interested in it.Quote:

I can fully see my son out in a field, playing in the dirt, and not paying attention at times (most times). I just want him to have fun and learn with kids his age.
My husband asked my son last night " Do you want to play T-Ball?" Scott said "Want to play T-Ball!!" He then asked him "Do you want to play football?" Scott said "Want to play football!!"
He is going to be an active feller!!
T-Ball traveling teams are the way to go these days!
Don't know much about it, but I have heard good reports on the Babe Ruth League in Big Stone Gap and their T-ball program. Check into it.
How is Big Stone doing theres?
Wise has 8 teams this season (the most they've had in a long while) with approximately 10 kids on each team ranging from ages 3-6. Most 3 year olds turn or have already turn 4 soon.
Games consist of 3 innings with every kid batting each inning. No outs are kept.
That is pretty much how it is at Norton. We have 4 teams with approximately 15 kids on each team (at one point we had 18) and they are 4-6 years old.Quote:
