Delano Community Education

> ages 3 - 5

The Delano Sandlot T-Ball program aims to develop participants’ throwing, catching, hitting, and base-running abilities while learning to be a part of a team. Coaches will use the first twenty minutes of each session to practice the previously mentioned skills, while teams will use the second half of the session to play a game, putting together all of the skills that players practiced. All players will hit off a tee for our games, all players will get to bat each half inning, and the batting teams will switch after the last batter has hit. Participants will be grouped by age. 3-year-olds will be grouped together, 4-year-olds will be grouped together, and 5-year-olds will be grouped together. You may make special requests for your child to be with another child at the time of registration, but not all special requests will be honored due to the need to balance teams. 

Community Education will provide most equipment, but all participants must bring a baseball glove. Participants are strongly recommended to provide their own batting helmet, but helmets will be provided if they do not have one.

**Parent volunteers are needed for this program. Please indicate if you are willing to volunteer to help coach when you register your child. We plan to have a volunteer coach’s meeting before the start of the season. Community Education will email the time and location of the meeting to the coaches.

**Please register by May 23 to be included in the first shirt order to be placed on May 24. Any registration received after May 23 will receive a shirt when the second order is placed on June 11.
