***PLAYERS MUST BE IN AT LEAST FIRST GRADE***

Students in Kindergarten and younger are encouraged to pursue a t-ball league through Lincoln Little League or YMCA. 

We have two primary concerns:

1) Player Safety - our league uses a 'hard' baseball. 

Baseball is dangerous enough and we believe that most 5 or 6 year-olds aren't ready to play at this level.

We believe that it is best for boys to learn the fundamentals of the game of baseball (how to swing, how to throw, how to make an out, etc.) in a less competitive and safer learning environment.

2) Numbers - we usually have more than enough players to fill a Wee Pee team. 

If we open up to kindergarteners our numbers get pretty hard to manage. 

It is MYSA's recommendation that parents of Kindergarten or younger Malcolm students should check with each other to determine the level of interest for a tee ball team.  Figure out who can coach the team, then work together to register as a group either through the YMCA or Lincoln Little League.
