What Makes YMCA Youth Tee Ball and Kid Pitch Unique?
Mentor Future Generations
All teams are coached by volunteers. If you’re interested in coaching, please reach out to the sports director at your local Y or apply to be a volunteer.
A League Built on Values
Emotionally, being part of a team boosts a child’s sense of self-esteem and the pride they feel in achieving what they set their minds to accomplish. Parents and players alike learn how to be patient in watching kids and teammates pick up new skills and build their skill set, as well as how to wait for that perfect pitch.
Tee Off a Lifetime of Sports
Playing tee-ball and baseball gives kids the chance to get in the habit of exercising while learning about one of America’s favorite sports.
Did you know that the YMCA is older than America’s pastime? Rules for the modern game were developed in 1845 by Alexander J. Cartwright as part of the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, while the Y has been serving as a nonprofit since 1844!
