Running a Session of Aussie T-Ball Each session of Aussie T-Ball should run for no longer than 1 hour. The hour can either be split up as: • Half an hour of multi activity stations culminating in a half hour game of Aussie T-Ball; or Set Up • A full hour game of Aussie T-Ball. You may like to run two sessions a week; one session in each format. This all depends on your club, local competition structure, and the general interest of children. If you only run one session of Aussie T-Ball a week then it is suggested that you run the multi activity session. Aussie T-Ball Session Plans and Set Up • Set up the field into a variety of activity stations: throwing, fielding, hitting and base running. • It is recommended that all stations are set up before the commencement of each session. This will allow for a smoother transition between stations. • Choose a game sense activity for each activity including a warm up. Try to choose activities that are suitable for your participants age and ability. • Divide your players up into even teams and assign each team to an activity. Team size will vary depending on the activity however teams of 6 are encouraged. • Set a time limit for each drill. This may vary however each activity should last for 5-10 minutes. Once all teams have completed their activities players are then encouraged to have a game of Aussie T-Ball. 5
