Coordinator - Peter Pensotti
The primary goals
of Tee Ball are to have fun, to instruct

the value of teamwork.
The Little League Parent/Volunteer Pledge is:
-
I will teach all children
to play fair and do their best
-
I will positively support
all managers, coaches, and players
-
I will respect the decisions
of the umpires
-
I will praise a good effort
despite the outcome of the game
Tee Ball Player Selection
shall be made by the Division Coordinator after the Farms teams
have been selected.
Tee Ball Rules
- No game score or division standings are to be kept.
- The first four games will begin with 20 minute concurrent practices(sharing the field), followed by two innings of game play.
- Remaining games will last at least 3 innings with no new inning beginning after 1 hour and 15 minutes after the scheduled start of the game.
- Coaches, at their option, may pitch up to three pitches by hand to batters. If the batter is unable to put one of the three pitches into play, the batter will then hit from the tee. Each batter shall have enough swings using the tee to put the ball in play.
- Although outs will not be counted, a base runner that is put out by the defensive team shall return to the dugout ant not occupy a base.
- The batting order will consist of all players at the game. Once play begins, the lineup cannot be changed except to remove a player due to an injury. A late arrival shall be added to the end of the lineup. Throughout the season, it shall be a priority to rotate the batting order so that all players have an opportunity to bat from each position in the lineup.
- Every player bats each inning. An inning ends after the entire offensive team has batted. The last batter will continue advancing bases until either put out or the defensive team gets the ball to home plate.
- The defense is comprised of all players present. The infield positions shall be consist of a traditional baseball infield with the remaining players in the outfield. It shall be a priority that each player spends equal time in the infield.
- A play ends when the ball is thrown back to the infield and an infield player has control of the ball. Any runner who is at least halfway to the next base is awarded that base.
- The defensive team may have up to three coaches in the field (suggested to be one in the infield and two in the outfield.) The offensive team may have up to two adult base coaches plus one coach at home plate assisting the batter. While the ball is in play, no volunteer shall interfere with the play or touch the ball.
All
Truckee Little League volunteers must complete a volunteer application
and satisfactorily complete the live scan fingerprint screening
process.
The managers are responsible
for the removal of all trash from the dugouts and surrounding areas
after games.
