The game is fast, which keeps the kids interested and
alert. Games are limited to an hour and a quarter, which means
more time spent playing, and less time kicking dirt around or
chasing butterflies.
The game is fresh. It's a natural forum to teach basic
skills like throwing, hitting, catching and running:- skills
which the children can use later on to play whatever sport they
like.
The game is fun. Players will bat at least three or four
times each game, and will play in the field that many times as
well. Sides change over every 10 minutes or so, which leaves no
time for boredom.
The emphasis in teaching is on sound
fundamentals, which the kids will use throughout their sporting
careers. Fielders are trained in hand-eye co-ordination, and
gain valuable experience in judging the flight of a ball. They
are taught to move properly to catch a ball, how to set up
properly to throw a ball, and how to warm up before playing.
General fitness is also very important these
days, and is becoming more so with various studies that alert us
to the issues of youth obesity, Type 2 diabeties, and other
lifestyle problems. Tee Ball is a great way to promote a healthy
lifestyle before bad habits set in.
