Children as young as four years of age are eligible to play in the Milford Little League, beginning with Tee Ball. Milford has created a new program for Tee Ball-age players (ages 4-6); and their parents or guardians, that is specifically designed to provide a foundation and introduction to baseball that is grounded in fundamentals, fitness, and having fun.
Milford Tee Ball offers a plan and resource that features structured learning, highlighted by one practice and one game per week. Over the course of the season, coaches and parents will engage in a series of lessons utilizing up to 40 activities that include skills, drills, and plenty of physical activity.
The Milford Little League program features two Tee Ball Activities (games or practices) per week. Each activity should last between 45 minutes and 1 hour and 15 minutes. Parents are strongly encouraged to stay at the field during Tee Ball activities.
For generations of Little Leaguers, their first steps between the lines came in Tee Ball. The same is true of volunteers entering the Milford program in support of their children. Understanding and appreciating the significance of those first steps, Milford Little League set out to develop a program intent on embracing those moments and creating positive, exciting educational experiences for children and adults.
There will be a kick-off event for this age group where teams will be formed. You will receive an e-mail with additional details in early March.
The league provides a jersey and hat, and players are responsible for pants, cleats if desired, a glove bat, and a helmet although MLL does have helmets players can use.
