Practice: Preseason practice is at the manager's discretion and weather permitting. There will be a 30 minute practice before each game.

Game Play: Players hit a safety ball off of an adjustable batting tee.  No score is kept. Basic game rules are taught and players are rotated among the different fielding positions.  The full batting order will bat in a half inning.  Traditionally, outs are not recorded; base runners do not advance on overthrows. 

A hat and team shirt is provided by the league. Players will need to bring their own glove, but helmets and bats are optional (and are otherwise shared/provided by the league during the game).  And most importantly, they should be ready to have fun!
