Questions and Answers: What is Tee Ball?

Teeball is played during Summer from October through to March with a break over the Christmas holidays.

Q: What is Tee-Ball?

 

A: Tee-ball is a fun, children's game.  It is a modified version of baseball where the child hits the ball off 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 $115.00 for the first child, $105.00 for the second child and   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 ($10- $12) and socks ($8) which are available 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 7’s and 8’s team also plays at least one game throughout the season on a Wednesday night.  9’s to 12/13’s will play 2 games on a Wednesday night.  (Could be a double header.)


Q: What commitments do parents have to make?

 

A: Parents are required to help so that the team runs 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 Duncraig.


Q: How old do you have to be to play tee-ball?


A: Our club starts tee-ball from 7's and continues through to 12/13s.  To be a 7’s player, 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 8s.


Q: Sounds great, how do I join?


A: Our registration days are advertised on the home page, but are usually towards the end of July and the beginning of August. Go to the home page now and download the Registration Form and send it to us. Once teams have been formed we will continue to take registrations until all teams are full.  

Q: What happens if I want more information?


A: If you have any more questions, please ask one of our committee members (see above for details) and they will be glad to help or if you prefer you can e-mail the club at registrar@wjtbc.com
