Browse Baseball/T-Ball Programs
We offer a T-ball and youth baseball program for children throughout the Spring and Fall of each year. Our program focuses on hand eye coordination, lateral movement, quickness, agility, and above all else, sportsmanship. This is not a baseball league: All classes serve the purpose of getting children familiarized & comfortable with the rules, motions & mechanics of baseball.
Viking’s youth T-Ball and youth Baseball programs introduce children to catching, throwing, batting, base-running, and fielding. All players hit and run the bases each inning – there are no outs. For batting, coaches will pitch or batting tees are used. We use soft, safe baseballs and/or tennis balls to build each child’s confidence and coordination in a safe manner.
Equipment to Bring
- Baseball/Softball Glove
- Water Bottle
*Baseball Cleats are recommended for the sessions but not required. All players will receive a Viking Sports T-Shirt that we ask all players to wear at each session. If you need any equipment for the clinic, you may purchase the appropriate glove, cleats, or water bottle at the Viking Activity Center.
