League age: 4 years old and 5 year old that are new to Tee-Ball

(All league age 4 year old players must be drafted to a team before league age 5 year old players will be drafted)

Philosophy: The focus in Beginner Tee Ball is on developing basic baseball skills, introducing sportsmanship, cooperation, and most of all HAVING FUN! The emphasis is on learning, not winning. These games will be held on Saturday mornings. We recommend that your child plays at least one season of Beginner Tee Ball before trying Coach Soft-Toss to ensure they understand the basics of the game, but it is not required. 

Team Managers and Coaches: Parent participation is one of the keys to the success of any youth volunteer league. Coaching is a great way to enjoy time with your child while introducing the skills essential for children in this age group and developing the fundamental elements of baseball. Responsible parents are needed as managers, coaches, sponsors, team parents, and scorekeepers. We are asking for volunteers now to begin to experience the joys of providing young players with a fun and lifelong baseball experience. Please sign up as a volunteer at the CSLL website or during registration. 

Prior to each Spring and Fall season, we conduct coaching training to review practice techniques and drills to make practices more productive.  

If you cannot help, please remember that your coach is a volunteer and give them your full support.

Equipment: CSLL provides players with a cap and game jersey. Parents will be responsible for player pants, socks, and belt. The manager of the team will inform parents of the team jersey color and will recommend what color socks, belt and pants to purchase. In addition, there will be bats, helmets, and catcher's gear at the field for players to share. A baseball glove is the only equipment required. The glove should be the softest and largest the player can handle. Well broken-in leather gloves work best and will enable the child to catch and hold onto the ball better than a smaller, stiff, plastic version. Rubber baseball cleats are recommended.

Players are permitted to bring their own batting helmets and/or bat provided that they meet Little League standards. At this level, it is recommended that players use a bat length of 25 or 26 inches and no more than 16 oz. in weight. Bats must be Little League-approved. 

Team Formation: Teams will be formed by the Player Agent through a process specified by the CSLL Board of Directors. Once teams have been finalized and coaches have been given the team rosters, all team placements are final. Due to the size of our league, we will allow you to request 1 player that your child would like to be on a team with but cannot guarantee that it will be fulfilled. 

Player Notification: After the teams are formed, your coach will send out an email with all the team information. The coach will be your primary contact person throughout the season. 

Rules: All divisions play by the rules set forth in the current version of the Little League rulebook. Additionally, local ground rules have been established to implement best practices for our league.

Practices & Games: Practices and games generally last 1 hour. Practices are held at various fields in College Station including Brian Bachmann Park, Brothers Park, Sandstone Park, Jack & Dorothy Miller Park, Pebble Creek Park, Wayne Smith Park. Practices will be held twice per week typically on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday until games begin. All Tee Ball games will be held at Wayne Smith Park or Brian Bachmann Park. 

Practice and game schedules will be available on the website when we have them ready.
