In Tee Ball, athletes will learn the fundamentals of baseball (hitting, throwing, fielding, base running, terminology) in a fun, team setting. Rosters are typically composed of 8-10 players. On Offense, players hitting off a batting tee (pictured below). On Defense, each player plays a position in the field.

Bases / Baseline

Use the orange string reels found in the equipment to mark a straight line from the back of home plate, down the baseline to the outfield grass. Nail the string line into the dirt, directly behind the tip of home plate.
The blue chalk machines should only be filled up 1/3 - 1/2 with chalk. Overfilling will cause the wheels not to turn.
The outside of the base should align with the chalked baseline, as seen below
There is not a chalked baseline from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd.

Base Placement

At Henry Ford Elementary: 1st and 3rd base placement is a function of where 2nd base is placed. 2nd base should be placed so it is 5-8 feet behind the pitchers mound. 1st and 3rd base should then be aligned to this distance.

At Roosevelt Elementary: 1st and 3rd place should be placed between the last and second to last fence dugout fence post. Align 2nd base based on 1st and 3rd base.

Foul Ball Area

Using the blue chalk machine, draw an arc from 3rd baseline to 1st baseline, approximately 8 feet (4-5 paces) from home plate
Any balls hit into this area are a foul ball (keeps the fielders from running in towards a player with a bat)
