Mini-Panthers T-Ball (PreK)


The Mini-Panther T-Ball program is a 4-week instructional T-ball program for boys and girls ages 3 to 4 (age cutoff May 1, 2024) that introduces the fundamentals of baseball/softball in a fun and positive environment.  Emphasis will be on instruction, participation and having fun! Score/Standings will not be kept. It will be a 4-week program with teams practicing two times per week the first two weeks, and then playing a 4-game schedule the final two weeks.  All games/practices will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Wallace Park ballfields.  Teams will be coached by parent volunteers.

Each participant is required to have their own glove, pants/shorts, shoes, etc.  The PRC will provide each participant with a jersey along with some practice equipment.
