T-BALL SUMMER STARS

Summer Stars T-Ball is the third level of baseball, with more instruction regarding the rules of the game (i.e., outs and scores). The focus remains on having FUN while continuing to develop the fundamentals of throwing, catching, fielding, hitting & team play. It is a great way for our oldest Sr. T-Ball players to keep playing and improve their skills in anticipation of playing Rookie Ball next season.

Children of all abilities are welcome and the emphasis will always be on FUN but there will be a new challenge of keeping score. Parents please be a good judge of your child’s ability to cope. Please see T-Ball Summer Stars Rules for your review.

Please consider the information below closely, as it should provide some answers to your questions.

++All information is preliminary and may be subject to change.

COACHING VOLUNTEERS

RYBL is the best youth baseball association in Etobicoke because of the dedication of its parent Coach Volunteers. Please consider expressing your interest in coaching or assisting in your player’s registration application.

All coaches are supported with initial training and continuous group communication to ensure you and your team’s success on the field.

If you are open to the possibility of coaching, even as an assistant, and have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

PLAY WITH REQUESTS

Please note that only “reciprocal” play-with requests will be considered, per the play-with policy on the RYBL website. This means that if your player would like to play with another child, he/she must select that player on their Registration, and vice-versa.

Multiple play-with requests and non-reciprocal play-with requests will NOT be considered.

Thank you for your interest in RYBL.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
