Buddy Tee-Ball
Grab your mitt and join your friends as we pair with our
buddies to play America’s favorite pastime. Each week we
will gear up and hit the field as we challenge our friends
to an exciting game of tee-ball! We will warm up with
our team, practice and then play a friendly game together. Note: Buddy
Tee-Ball is not a competitive program. Participants should bring a
labeled mitt each week and come dressed in athletic clothing and
gym shoes.
Goals: Develop skills and an understanding of tee-ball. Foster social
interaction and teamwork.
