Baseball Victoria sets the age criteria for the junior leagues. Please refer to Baseball Victoria’s age matrix.
It’s a modified form of baseball for boys and girls aged 5 up to 8. There is no pitcher throwing the ball (though there is a fielder in the pitcher’s position) and the batter hits the ball off a tee. After that, it’s pretty much the same as baseball. The emphasis in teeball is on participation, fun and development.
Usually 5-8 years old. (Kids can start baseball from 8 years old.)
Heck yes! The Chelt teeball program is well-established, very well run and great fun! In summer season, we run 6-8 teams with over 60 kids out on the diamonds at Farm Rd each week of summer. Teeball is a summer program at Cheltenham from October through to March.
The standard practice is for players to be ready to start their warm up 1 hour before a game; i.e. 8am for a 9am start, however, individual Coaches will advise.
The Club will make every effort to accommodate these requests, especially in teeball and Under 12 and Under 14 Domestic competitions. Note these requests at Registration.
Note that Summer Sunday Major League and Minor League teams are selected on merit and performances.
Club policy is to move players through as many positions as possible given their individual capabilities. Coaches will listen to and try and accommodate requests where appropriate.
If it is a team issue, please do not approach the Coach, your first contact should be the Team Manager (who is usually a player’s parent). The club also has Junior Coordinators, so if a matter arises that cannot be resolved with the team manager, the coordinator should be approached. Alternatively, please send your enquiry to: cheltenhamrustlersbc@gmail.com
