The San Lorenzo Little League Tee Ball Division consists of League Ages 4 - 6 (League Age 7 year olds by Board approval only).
Tee Ball is a beginner division and the main focus should be having fun while introducing the skills and rules of baseball.
TEE BALL - THINGS TO KNOW
Games
Tee Ball games are played on the dedicated Tee Ball field (Field 5) or sometimes Field 4 if there are multiple games that day.
The Tee Ball season should be 20 games long with one game during the week and one game every Saturday.
Games are 3 innings long or 90 minutes whichever comes first.
All players on each team bat each inning and the inning is over when the last batter has had his/her turn at bat.
Tee Ball uses a regulation Tee Ball baseball for practices and games. It is softer than a normal baseball for player safety.
Batting and Running
The league provides a standard hitting tee from which players will hit the ball.
All batters, especially returning Tee Ballers, can utilize the "Three and Tee" hitting option. Players are offered three thrown coach pitches from the pitching circle. If the player does not hit any of the pitches they will then hit off the hitting tee.
"Three and Tee" is by coach discretion. Coaches should make the determination by player skill level.
Once a player hits the ball all runners will run to the next base. One base at a time.
When the last batter of the team hits the ball the batter and all runners will run around all the bases until they cross home plate. Ending the inning.

Understanding Little League bats Standards
Rule 1.10 in the Little League rulebook states all players playing in Majors division and below must use a bat that meets the USA Baseball Bat standard and be free of major dents, cracks, and sharp edges.
Bats that meet the USA Baseball bat standard will be clearly "stamped" with the official USA Baseball logo near the grip of the bat.
Example of USA Baseball "stamps"
Tee Ball Bats
Regulation Tee Ball bats are bats 26" and shorter labeled with the wording "ONLY FOR USE WITH APPROVED TEE BALLS" in addition to the USA Baseball logo. The "ONLY FOR USE WITH APPROVED TEE BALLS" wording may be found anywhere on the bat and may be in fine print.
Volunteering for your Tee Ball Team
Tee Ball is a fun and unique division and teams always require more help and coaches to keep the young players safe, focused, and practices and games moving.
The best seasons always result from the team families coming together and helping in whatever ways they can.
If you are interested in helping your team in any capacity, Team Coordinator, Coach, dugout supervision do not hesitate to volunteer!
Volunteer - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Little League should be safe for all players, coaches, volunteers, and spectators. For this reason Little League head quarters requires all volunteers pass back ground checks and take awareness trainings so they know what to look for when protecting our League members.
All Volunteers are required to Sign up on the League's Sports Connect portal (click here) as one of several Volunteer Roles available here at the League.
By signing up your information will be sent out to the Little League inc. partner JDP for a Free background check. This is a requirement for ALL volunteers who will be interacting with players on or off the field.
Volunteers should also complete a Live Scan finger printing as a secondary background check.
Lastly Volunteers will need to create an account at the Little League University (click here) and watch the Abuse Awareness Training videos to prepare volunteers for any instances of Abuse they may come across.
