We play for 9 weeks each Spring and Fall at the City owned Tuttle Field on Airport Blvd. (at the intersection of industrial blvd).  All games run for one hour.

STRUCTURE:

The parents of the player’s actually run the games, providing support, coaching and “officiating”.   Team Moms have been designated to assist in this area. The Angels are for special needs children ages 4 to 15.  Because of the age difference between the players, 3 teams play simultaneously on different fields.

 

EQUIPMENT & AWARDS:          

Each player is furnished a complete little league style baseball uniform at no cost to the parent.  At the last game they receive a team picture, a picture of the individual player at bat plus a trophy.

 

RULES:         We have no strikes; no outs and the basic rules are adapted to meet the disability of the player.  Players are always encouraged, never forced to conform.
