Blast Ball Division

The Blast Ball program is designed for 4 and 5 year olds who are playing baseball for the first time.

5 year olds may register in either T-Ball or Blast Ball Divisions. It is recommended that 5 year olds with no previous baseball experience register for Blast Ball.

Blast Ball is a fast and fun introduction to baseball for players league age 4 and 5 year olds. Blast Ball introduces some basic concepts of baseball and teamwork. The program requires parent participation as this provides further encouragement for the young players. Teams are small with only 4-6 players and 2 coaches and every player gets an opportunity to hit the ball each inning. In Blast Ball there are 3 innings played and an inning is complete when each player has had a turn at bat.
In Blast Ball, there is only one base, the Blast Base and it is placed at the first base location. Each team takes a turn at batting (offence) and fielding (defense) per inning. Defensive players rotate fielding positions much like in a regular baseball game with the defensive players taking an infield or outfield position. For each at bat, the ball is placed on the tee and the batter hits the ball and runs to the Blast Base.
In Blast Ball there is no requirement for ball gloves as the Blast Ball is soft and baseball gloves are optional. The softness of the ball will also eliminate the fear factor of being hit by the ball.
Parent duties consist of raking the field before and after each game and managing kids in the dugout.
"Teammate" and "Sibling" requests for team placement are accepted for Blast Ball and T-Ball divisions.

Sessions are a combined practice (15-20 minutes) and a game. 2 teams are scheduled at each diamond.
