Spring season is our most popular season of the little league program with nearly 500 players participating each year. As a Little League organization, teams play other teams in their division within Tigard Little League during the spring season.
Pee Wee is a co-ed league intended for boys and girls ages 5 - 7, typically Kindergarten through first grade.
Tee Ball
This introductory, non-competitive level of baseball is for all 5 year olds as well as 6 year olds with little or no baseball or softball experience. Players are hitting a soft baseball from a stationery batting tee, no outs are tracked, and every player bats each inning.
This year we are forming smaller teams of 6, so the innings will go quicker and the players will get more time on the field and at batt
Coach Pitch
This introductory, non-competitive level of baseball is for 6 year olds that have played a year of Tee Ball as well as 7 year olds with no baseball or softball experience. Players hit a soft baseball pitched by the coach (a tee is not used).
This level will also be formed into teams of 6. This allows the play to move faster, and keeps the players engaged by keeping them in infield positions
Parent Involvement
By creating smaller teams we will need more parents to be involved and on the field with their youngsters. These levels are focusing developing the basics, learning the bases, and having fun.
Usually one 45-60 minute game on Saturdays with all children on the roster batting each inning
