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 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?
                                     A: We held our registration days on 9th and 16th August for all new registrations.   Or 
                                     go to the Download Page now and download the Registration Form and send it 
                                     to us for a quick Registration.   
                                     Once teams have been formed we will continue to take registrations until 
                                     all teams are full.  At this stage for season 2008/09 we have vacancies in 
                                     some age divisions.
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
