• Schedule: Spring-to-summer season with practices or games on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday evenings starting the first week of May; Wee Tees on four Saturdays in June; Instructional and Traditional T-Ball through the end of June; Pitchball and above through mid-July tournaments
In-House Baseball programs start at age 4 and go up to age 12, and In-House Baseball programs offer baseball for ages 4–13, with an age cut-off date of April 30th. Wee Tees is for 4-year-old children and focuses on the basics of baseball, and participants in Wee Tees are provided with jerseys. Instructional T-Ball is for 5-year-olds as an introduction to the game where players learn positions and the general concept of the game, and score is not emphasized. Traditional T-Ball is for 6-year-olds, keeps score, and is a step toward preparing players for Pitchball. Pitchball involves hitting balls pitched by coaches, and players rotate through all positions. Pee Wees introduces kids pitching to other kids and strengthens all other phases of the game, and Minors is the final In-House league and adds in all phases of the game to prepare players for the next step of baseball.
Tiered player evaluations for Pee Wee and Minors teams are held at a date and time in April, and a season-opening kick-off is planned for a Saturday in early May. Children have practice or a game every Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, based on their registration, beginning the first week of May, weather permitting. All practices start at either 5:45pm or 6:45pm and last about 1 hour, and all games start at 6:15pm. Instructional and Traditional T-Ball run through the end of June, while Pitchball and above continue until end-of-season tournaments scheduled for mid-July. The Pitchball Tournament is scheduled for July 10–12, and the Pee Wee and Minors tournaments are scheduled for July 17–19. Wee Tees is typically held on four Saturdays in June. Instructional T-Ball is offered on Mondays and Wednesdays, Traditional T-Ball on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Pitchball on either Mondays/Wednesdays as the American League or Tuesdays/Thursdays as the National League, Pee Wees on either Mondays/Wednesdays as the American League or Tuesdays/Thursdays as the National League, and Minors on Mondays/Wednesdays only.
All players except Wee Tees participants are required to provide their own batting helmets and baseball gloves, and there are no color requirements for In-House helmets. Helmets can be purchased through retailers such as Amazon, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Play It Again Sports. Baseball pants, cleats, and bats are optional but not required. In-House teams are supplied with bats that meet league requirements, and any bats supplied by players must meet In-House League requirements. Wee Tees, Instructional T-Ball, Traditional T-Ball, and Pitchball require a 2 1/4 barrel bat, while Pee Wee and Minors can use a 2 5/8 barrel bat that is USA approved only. At the season-opening kick-off, players receive their uniforms, which include a jersey and hat.
The In-House Baseball Director is Rachel Dotseth, the In-House Co-Director is Bryanna Sandquist, and the President is Tim Kaplan.
