Registration dates: December 1-15
FCYSO Coach Pitch is a co-ed league for 5–6-year-olds who have some understanding of the game. Players should have played in an organized t-ball league prior to enrollment in this league but is not mandatory. The player must reach age 5 by August 31st of the calendar year (per Little League age guidelines) they are beginning play. (Example: Billy turns 5 on July 1, 2023, and has a good understanding of the game of baseball. He can register to play in this league.)
Our hope is to provide a fun experience for players to learn the games of baseball/softball, focusing on the concept of the game, hitting, & fielding. Each team will have two coaches, so please note in the registration if you're interested in coaching.
- Games last approximately one hour
- Basic rules of organized baseball/softball are implemented.
- Coaches pitch to hitters on one knee for boys and underhand for girls (utilizing a tee only when necessary)
- Teams bat six players and then switch to defense.
- Players need their own glove & helmet.
- Players play with a Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) ball.
- If you choose to provide your own bat, it must have a USA stamped bat.
- Practices & games will begin in May and run through June.
With Coach Pitch registration, we do offer a special request section. We will try to grant requests but will not make any guarantees.
