Town of Clarence Baseball Association

Welcome to the T-Ball Division of the TCBA.  Open to kids born between December 1, 2018 and April 30, 2020, the T-Ball League is an introduction to baseball.  The focus is on developing basic skills and emphasizing the fun of the game in a non-competitive environment. 

Your child must have been born December 1, 2018 and April 30, 2020, to play in the T-Ball League.

 Game Structure:
-  Opening Night for T-Ball League is Early May
-  Games are played Friday nights or Saturday  through late June/early July..
-  Evening game times are either 5:45pm or 7:00pm
-  Games will rotate between Meadowlakes Park, and Memorial Park.
-  Three (3) innings per game which takes about one (1) hour to play
-   Each ½ inning consists of all players from the team batting once, with the last batter hitting a “home run” to clear the bases.
-   All players on the team play in the infield/outfield when it is the other team’s turn to bat
-   No scores are kept.  All teams are winners
-   “Outs” are played and the base runner goes back to the bench.  No limit to the number of outs that will signify an end to the inning. All players bat each inning. 

Team Structure: There are approximately 8 kids per team depending on the number of parent coaches available.  All registrants will be assigned to a team by the League Director with the approval of the Board of Directors.  The T-Ball League will do it’s best to accommodate friend requests, however these requests must be limited to one per registrant.  We also try to keep the kids from the same school together (i.e. Clarence Center on the same team).  There are no guarantees for any of the above team structure guidelines for late registrations. 

Practices: We will begin assembling the teams around mid-March and anticipate the rosters to be finalized and distributed to the Coaches around the end of March/beginning of April.  You will be notified directly by the Coach of your child’s team.  Teams generally practice one or two times per week, which are scheduled by your team’s Coaches at their discretion.  Weather will naturally play a part with their practice schedule.  The TCBA Board will assign each team one or two practices at the indoor facility as well as diamond practices. 

Coaching: We would like to see the number of kids on each team stay around 8 kids. This is dependent upon the number of parents that are willing to coach a team as either a head coach or assistant.  If you are or may be interested in coaching, please feel free to contact the t-ball director below.
