Co-ed Blastball: (Ages 3-4)
This program is just as fun to watch as it is for the young ones to play! The program is designed to introduce baseball fundamentals and is a lead into T-Ball. Players use a foam ball, bat and hit from a stationary tee.
The emphasis is on fun, to introduce the fundamentals of hitting, throwing, catching, running and fielding. Stations will be set up and a small game will be played at the end of the night.
​Blastball runs Monday from 6pm to 7pm at St. Judes Catholic school starting in early June and finishing mid August. .
Teams have 6-8 players. Parental Involvement is essential. A T-shirt and baseball cap are provided. A glove is not required, but may be used. No helmets in Blastball as we use a foam bat and balls.
