Lil Sluggers is a youth baseball program designed to prepare boys and girls ages 2 through 8 for their journey into organized team play by improving and developing their social and physical skills both on and off the field. Basic baseball fundamentals such as throwing, fielding, hitting, catching and base running are the core of its curriculum. Its classes and coach-pitch instructional leagues are described as building confidence, reinforcing team play, teaching cooperation and helping foster a love for the game, with a stated philosophy of “have FUN, build CONFIDENCE, and learn BASEBALL, in that order.” The program notes an energetic pace of classes, small player-to-coach ratios, and minimizing kids’ wait time between turns, with the goal of more action, more learning, and more fun. It organizes participants into Rookies (ages 2 and 3), Minor Leagues (ages 4 and 5), and Major Leagues (ages 6 to 8), and offers fundamentals classes for ages 2–8, a T-Ball and Coach-Pitch instructional program for ages 4–8, a Coach-Pitch program for ages 5–7, Saturday T-Ball League for ages 4 and 5, Saturday Coach-Pitch League for ages 6 to 8, and advanced classes for ages 6 to 8 that use real baseballs, bats, and gloves.
