i9 Sports Greater Phoenix is excited to launch another incredibly fun and organized T-Ball/Coach Pitch Baseball League for boys and girls, ages 3-9. Register your child today and invite a friend too!
PROGRAM DETAILS: The i9 Sports Tball/Baseball League is a fun based, recreational program that provides equal playing time to all athletes. The program is not highly competitive, rather our focus is on fundamentals, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Each week, your child will be led by an experienced Staff Instructor who will oversee and assist our VOLUNTEER Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches as they conduct weekly practices. Ideally, each team will have at least one Volunteer Head Coach and one Volunteer Assistant Coach (usually parents, but other family members are welcome as well!). In the case where we do not have a Volunteer Head Coach, the Staff Instructor will serve as the Head Coach.
FORMAT: EVERYONE PLAYS! Our PeeWee players will hit off a batting tee and our Junior and Senior players will be thrown 3 overhand pitches by a coach, followed by a turn with the batting tee, if needed, until the player hits the ball in fair territory.
Most teams will have 6-10 players. We assign players to teams 2-3 weeks prior to opening day and will communicate your schedule 7-10 days prior to opening day. Players from the same school are placed on the same team where possible while keeping teams in balance for size/age/experience. Buddy requests will be honored whenever possible.
League (4 or more Teams) - Each week, players will have practice followed by a game. Standings will be kept for our Junior and Senior divisions, and teams will play a new team most weeks. For League play, a minimum of ONE Volunteer Coach on each team is required (TWO is preferred).
BUDDY REQUESTS: We will accommodate buddy requests when possible. Simply note any friends you'd like on the same team at the time of registration. Players will be placed in the age division of the OLDEST player of the group. For example, if you have 4 players, ages 4, 4, 5, and 6, they will play in the (5-7) age group. For the safety of our players, we do not play older players in younger divisions.
*These divisions may be adjusted or combined, depending on enrollment numbers.
Any schedule changes will be communicated via email, please ensure that you have subscribed to our emails and that your SPAM filters are not filtering important information.
FIELD/VENUE CANCELLATIONS: Mother Nature will occasionally require us to cancel a day either due to poor weather conditions or poor field conditions (wet fields can be unsafe, even if rain has stopped). Whenever possible, weather related cancellations will result in the addition of a make-up day at the end of the season. If a make-up is not possible, we will issue a one time $15 credit on your account to be used for a future season. If additional cancellations are required during the season, we will try to make-up games, but it may not be possible. In such a case, we will offer a discount towards a future season, but no refunds will be issued.
An official i9 Sports® Reversible T-Ball Jersey and Cap will be provided for you to keep and is included in your fee.
