A tee will be used to develop hand-eye coordination for the development of batting skills. Coach Pitch will be introduced as appropriate in the second half of the season.
There is no scorekeeping, other than to know when the inning ends (3 outs, or 5 runs) as the focus is more on skill introduction and having FUN in a team environment.
