Recreational Baseball

We offer recreational baseball across spring, summer and fall seasons. Any player registering for rec baseball will be placed on a team. In rec baseball, all players are in the batting order. We start keeping score at 7YOs. Our rec baseball program uses the player age as of 05/01/27 for which division in the fall 2026 season, spring 2027 season and summer 2027 season.

REC Baseball Format

3/4YO division: This is a tee ball division. Score is NOT kept.

5YO division: We encourage players to bat from a tee for games. This allows swing development. As the season progresses, a coach may attempt to pitch to each batter from a short distance (15' or less) and usually from one knee. Score is NOT kept.

6YO age division: A coach will attempt to pitch to each batter from a short distance (15' or less) and usually from one knee. If the batter is unsuccessful at five pitches, a tee is used. Batters may immediately use a tee if desired or needed. Score is NOT kept.

7YO, 8YO: This is coach pitch play where the pitching distance is 35' away from home plate. Teams play with four outfielders. Teams are limited to 5 runs per inning. Most games are at Crockett Park. Practices occur at Civitan Park & Crockett Park.

9YO, 10YO: This is kid pitch play with a mound at 46', bases at 65’. Teams are limited to 5 runs per inning. Most games are at Crockett Park. Practices occur at Civitan Park & Crockett Park.

11/12YO: This is kid pitch play with a mound at 50', bases at 70’. Runners are allowed to lead off. Teams are limited to 5 runs per inning. Most games are at Crockett Park. Practices occur at Civitan Park & Crockett Park.

13/14YO: This is kid pitch play with a mound at 60' 6’, bases at 90’. Runners are allowed to lead off. Teams are limited to 7 runs per inning. Games occur at Granny White Park, Woodland Middle School or another park across Williamson County.

Team Roster Creation

We create rosters based on parent requests, then consider neighborhoods, schools and comparable skills if possible. Many of our teams are returning teams that want to stay together for the next season. So we allow that. That doesn't always make teams at a similar skill level. And our approach may lessen the team options to place a player if you are a first time player with us.  Where possible, we will schedule like teams against each other during the regular season. 

Parent Help

1. Get your player to all practices. Get your player to all games at least 15 minutes prior to the start. Work with your player at home. Coaches are limited to a weekly practice and that time is a small part of helping your player get better. 15 minutes a day at home - playing pitch, talking about positioning, hitting plastic balls or off a tee, etc. - will do wonders for your player. And if your player is new to the sport, practice at home is a must. Let your coach be the coach during games. Your shouting of instructions may not align to the coach. Remember the coaches are parents that volunteered to help a bunch of kids that are not their own. Volunteer and get involved. Help in the dugout. Help in practices. Ask the coach where you can help.
