What is T-Ball all about?

• It is a game allowing the younger players a chance to experience the great game for the first time.  The kids are introduced and taught the basics in a very safe and fun environment.  There is no pitching in a T-Ball game, the Coach places the ball on a Tee at home plate for the batter to hit.  It’s a great introduction to the sport of baseball.

 

What is the cost of T-Ball?

• The cost is $180.

 

What if I can’t afford the registration fees?

• Under the Little League charter, no child may be excluded from play based on inability to pay.
• Subsidies are available through an application on Kidsport:  www.kidsport.ca
• For further assistance with this, please contact the Fish Creek Little League Treasurer at:  treasurer@fcll.ca.

 

When does the season start?

• We are looking to have Teams created by mid April to ensure that Coaches can meet their Players and so there is a chance for the Team to get to know each other and engage in some practices before the "official" season starts.
• The Season will officially start April 29th and runs through to the end of June.
  • The above is all weather permitting.

 

How often do they play?

I registered and I haven’t heard anything yet – what’s happening?

• Once the registration information is collected and entered in the database, reports for each Division are prepared for the various Division Directors.
• The number of teams is then determined and Managers and/or Coaches are assigned to each team, then players are assigned or drafted to the teams.
• There is a Coaches Meeting (to review rules, events, etc) with the Division Directors.
• The Managers and Coaches for each team receive the team roster and then are in a position to start contacting parents.
• Often, the Managers and Coaches will organize a parent meeting before the season starts. Practices can then commence.
• If you have any questions about this process, please contact the applicable Division Director (can be found under About Us at: http://www.fcll.ca/board-members/).

 

I want to coach or volunteer, how do I go about doing this?

• Please indicate on your child’s registration that you would like to coach or volunteer.
• To apply to coach or volunteer please complete the steps required in our Coach Registration which can be found at:  https://www.fcll.ca/2024-coach-registration/
