Hi everyone,
Welcome to the 2023 CLL T-Ball season for Team 11. Joshua Valocchi and I will be the coaches this year. We're hoping to make this a fun year for all of the team members. Our goal for everyone is to learn the game, get better and have some fun!
For T-ball, the CLL uses a concept called Quickball. Intro to Quickball. In short, Quickball focuses on developing skills at multiple stations set up throughout the field. It allows players to get a lot more touches and bats on the ball. It also is geared to keep the players active throughout the practices. For the month of April, we are going to focus on Quickball stations, and in May and June, we will split time between Quickball stations and the Tball game.
The Team 11 game schedule is out on the cheltenhamlittleleague.org site but is also detailed below. We will be playing CLL on Saturdays, our game times vary each week, so please pay close attention to the schedule. Please note our 1st game day will be April 8th! On Saturdays, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to game time, so we can get organized and get the boys warmed up.
Players will need:
· Baseball cleats (metal cleats NOT allowed)
· Baseball glove
· Hat
· Batting helmet (we do have some team helmets)
· Water
That's it for now. We're looking forward to a fun season!
Let me know if you have any questions.
