Find The Program That's Right For Your Child

We have different programs for kids of all ages and skill levels.  Kids learn best when they are grouped with other kids that have similar skill sets.  When choosing a program for your child, please choose a group based on the age your child will be at the end of the session, and your child's experience level. 

​Our program is flexible, so don't worry about choosing the wrong program at the beginning.  We will recommend a different program if we feel your player is ready for the next level, or you can switch your child to another program during the same session if you feel he or she is ready - just give us a call or ask your coach.  All of our programs are taught with the philosophy of FUN, CONFIDENCE and BASEBALL.  Play Ball!
Coming this Spring ...  NEW Saturday
​T-Ball & ​Coach-Pitch Lil Leagues!

Baseball Fundamentals Classes - Ages 2 Thru 8
Classes are the core of the Lil Sluggers curriculum.  Classes are for kids just beginning their journey into baseball and are designed to be fast paced and fun.  Kids will rotate in small groups through several drills designed to improve specific skills.  Age appropriate equipment is used to teach classes for ages 2 thru 8.  

Instructional Program:
​T-Ball for Ages 4 & 5  / Coach-Pitch for Ages 6 Thru 8
The T-Ball & Coach-Pitch Instructional Program is designed to prepare kids for our NEW Saturday Lil League and "real" baseball game settings.  Players will use gloves, metal bats and level 5 safety baseballs.  This program is one step up from our Classes.  It is recommended that players complete at least one Lil Sluggers Class before registering.  
​You can choose to practice once during the week and play in a game on Saturdays (double-play), or just come once per week for practice or a game.  The objective of the program is to reinforce the fundamental skills learned in Lil Sluggers classes and apply them into a real game setting.  Kids are instructed how to handle all of the different situations that arise during a game, like force outs, tagging up, etc....  All of this is done in an exciting environment that will help the kids develop a real love for baseball.

Advanced Classes - Ages 6 Thru 8
Advanced Classes are for kids ages 6 thru 8,  that have completed several Lil Sluggers Classes, Coach-Pitch Instructional Leagues, or have played organized tee ball or little league.  Level 5 safety baseballs, bats and gloves are used. Classes are designed to build and reinfore fundamental baseball muscle memory.  Each week will consist of 4 to 6 drills focusing on one phase of the game.
