Baseball for 4-5 year old players
The blastball program is an ideal entry level of play designed to introduce the basic concept of baseball without the stress. It is meant to put the FUN into the game of baseball and designed to generate fast-paced action, provide recreation and exercise, create enthusiasm, and promote retention with simplicity. It
teaches all five fundamentals of baseball…hitting, throwing, catching, running, and fielding.
PLAYER COMMITMENT
Practices are held once per week and the schedule is set by the coach. There is usually 1 game per week on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Game start time will vary and will typically last 30-45 minutes followed by a parent-provided snack.
Blastball is NOT a drop off activity. An adult must stay at the park for the duration of each session.
Parents will be placed on a rotational schedule to help with bench and snack duties.
Blastball players will be given a T-shirt, hat and glove that they will get to keep. Batting helmet is optional.
