Chesterfield County - Western - Baseball/T-Ball - Instructional Program

Welcome to the 2019 Spring Season of i9 Sports T-Ball!

i9 Sports T-Ball teaches kids the basic fundamentals of how to catch, throw, hit, run, and be "baseball ready" in a fun, safe real-game setting!

You will find i9 Sports is an exciting alternative to other leagues, because we offer features you value most:

- Unsurpassed organization and communication
- Emphasis on fun that places the kids' needs first
- Focus on basic skills, sportsmanship, team play and fairness
- Convenience (practices and games on the same day)
- Inclusiveness (balanced playing time for every player, every game)
- Commitment to safety (mandatory certified background checks on all coaches)

League Format: T-Ball is available for children ages 3-6 as follows:
 

Equipment: The league provides each player with an official i9 Sports jersey and hat. Players may wear shorts or pants of any type. Appropriate footwear includes sneakers or rubber cleats (no metal). Players must provide their own glove. Protective cups are required to play catcher and recommended for all other positions.

Practice: We encourage no more than one (1) practice per week, and for that practice to be held 30 minutes prior to the game at the field, thus making it a once per week commitment for kids, parents, and coaches.

Awards: Each week one player from each team will be awarded an i9 Sportsmanship Medal for demonstrating the value for that week. All players will receive an i9 Participation Trophy at the end of the season.

Coaches: All coaches, usually a volunteer parent of a child playing on the team, will receive mandatory certified background checks. Please consider volunteering! Coaches will find the experience personally rewarding.
