The name of the game is teaching kids baseball. This not only includes the playing aspect but also instilling a love for the game. If a player is always stuck in the outfield the desire will die off. It is for this reason that Coaches must switch players to different positions from inning to inning, alternating between infield and outfield.

After third week into the season, coaches may at their discretion move to "three and a tee”. Three and a tee are 3 pitches thrown by a coach from a kneeling position. If batter is unsuccessful of putting ball in play the tee will be brought out for he hitter

Weeknight games will start at 6:00pm, but not later then 6:15pm. No new inning shall be started later than 7:30pm. Players should try to be at the park 20 minutes before game time.

Bases shall be 50 feet apart and shall be held by a base spike to avoid injury. The pitcher's mound (area) shall be located 36 feet from the point of home plate.

The length of a T-Ball game shall be three to four innings. This rule is open to the Coaches discretion and should be communicated between both coaches.

All players will be included in the batting order. Players will be listed in the order they are to bat. Players arriving late will be added to the end of the batting order. A team's turn at bat will consist of every player batting. Score is not kept at this level however a Coach or Parent should keep track of the batting order.

All players on the roster should play in the field when it is their team's turn to assume the defensive position. The proper baseball positions must be filled before using a 2^nd shortstop between 1st and 2nd base. The balance of the players should be inserted between the outfielders. Outfielders should be at least 10 to 15 feet behind the established base line, the pitcher must be within the pitching area and infielders should be playing within 3 feet of their positions.

Only the Umpire/Coach shall adjust the Tee.

Many Coaches/helpers can be on the field when their team is in the defensive position to help with positioning.

All BC Minor Baseball rules will be in effect but AMBA rules take precedence.

Batting from the Tee – Each batter will swing until they hit a fair ball. If the Tee is hit

on any swing, it will be considered a "dead ball”, and does not count.

Bunting - Batters must not bunt; take half swings or a swinging bunt. If the Umpire determines that the batter has not taken a full swing, the batter may be called back and a "dead ball” is called.

Overthrows - Runners may not advance extra bases on overthrows. A runner can only advance as a result of a fairly hit ball.

Base Running – Runners may not advance until such time as the ball is legally hit.

There is no base stealing or lead-offs allowed. When a ball is fielded by an outfielder and returned to the infield or when players have advanced as far as possible, without being put out, the ball is considered "dead” and the Umpire shall call "TIME”. The ball will then be thrown into the pitcher, who will throw it to the catcher for the Umpire to place on the Tee. When all the defensive players are in their proper positions and the next batter comes to the plate, the Umpire shall call "PLAY BALL”. A base runner cannot pass any other base runner on the bases.

Coaches will Umpire when their team is at bat. They shall control the game by calling in a loud voice, "DEAD BALL”, "FOUL BALL”, "PLAY BALL” and "TIME” when play is finished.

The Umpire is to remove the batting tee from the Home Plate area when a player is running to home.

If player throws their bat the player will be called "out” and asked to return to their bench.
