Questions and Answers: What is Tee Ball?
Q:What is Tee-Ball? Teeball is played during Summer from October through to March with a break over the Christmas holidays. A: Tee-ball is a fun, children's game. It is a modified version of baseball where the child hits the ball of a tee, which is of an adjustable height, instead of having the ball pitched to them. Tee-Ball is best remembered by the 4 F's-Fun, Fair Play, Fundamental Skills and Family Involvement. Q: How much does it cost to play? A:Tee-Ball is one of the cheapest sports going around. The Wanneroo Joondalup Tee-Ball Club charges $95.00 for the first child 90.00 for the second child and 85.00 for subsequent children from the same family. This is the annual fee for one season. This includes TBAWA affiliation, insurance, game fees, Team equipment (such as uniform, bats, balls, tees etc), photo, trophy and administration costs. Q: Are there extra expenses? A: Yes there are extra expenses. You will also need to purchase a hat ($8-10) and socks ($7) which are avaliable from the club. Also required is a mitt which can be bought from most sports stores. (Prices correct at posting but could change) Q: What commitments do I need to make? A: As with all sports there is a commitment required. There is training once a week after school, which lasts for about an hour and a one hour game on a Saturday morning. Each team also plays at least one game throughout the season on a Wednesday night. Q: What commitments do parents have to make? A: Parents are required to help so that the team run efficiently. Typically one parent will be the coach another will be the manager and other parents will help as required. Q: Where do I play tee-ball? A: We play an intra-club competition against other teams in the same age division. Our home ground is Percy Doyle Reserve in Warwick. Q: How old do you have to be to play tee-ball? A: Our club starts tee-ball from Under 's and continues through to Under 13s. To be an Under 7, a child must be in pre-primary or year 1 in school. If in pre-primary they will play this age group for 2 years. Children in year 2 move to under 8s. Q: Sounds great, how do I join?
