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.
Generally, there will be 8 players
assigned to a team provided parents are
willing to coach. Everyone plays the
entire game. Parents pitch and instruct
players. Batters are not required to wear
helmets but may do so if they choose. An
umpire is provided by BYSA. Games are
played weekdays only; no weekend games.
Parents are encouraged to call
937-422-4949 to discuss individual
circumstances, especially the option of
playing up into 1/2 Rookie league for
