Start Smart Baseball
Start Smart Baseball prepares children, ages 3 and 4, for organized Tee Ball, Baseball and Softball in a fun environment without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Parents work together with their children in a supportive environment to learn all of the basic skills for the sport - throwing, catching, batting, running, and agility. Parents work one-on-one with their children while they spend quality time with them.
This is a six week program on Tuesday nights. Each session lasts for one hour.
