Rookie Coach Pitch League

The rookie coach pitch league will replace the Tee-Ball league effective with the 2008 season.  The structure will be similar to the Tee-Ball program of the past, with one notable difference.  Coaches will pitch to these kindergartners first before using a tee.  Players will get 4 pitches to put the ball in play.  If it is not put in play, the ball is placed on a tee.
