3 March 2021: Beginners & Kindergarten
Leagues will play
Wiffle Ball! Wiffle Ball is divided into
two leagues:
-
Beginner’s league for 3-4 years old
(Pre-K) at start of the season.
-
Kindergarten league for 5-6 years old
(Older Pre-K/completed K) at start of
the season.
The objectives are to teach the
fundamentals of softball, teamwork, and
sportsmanship. Games are approx. 50
minutes long, using wiffle balls and bats.

umpire is provided by BYSA. Games are
