Now Offering T-Ball at Our NorthWest YMCA Location!
NEW! The NorthWest Family YMCA is now offering PEE WEE T-BALL for kids ages 3-5. T-Ball is great way for young children to develop hand/eye coordination and ball skills. Children will hit the ball off of a stationary tee and use a softer ball, making it safer for young kids to learn introductory baseball and softball skills.
Jersey shirt and ball cap will be provided by the YMCA. Parents must provide baseball pants, cleats, and glove. All other equipment will be provided by the YMCA. Teams will play 6 games.
