Coach Pitch is for players who have completed a season of Tee Ball (age 6) or are league age 7. Coaches pitch a soft, safety ball to players (a tee is used if the batter is unable to hit the pitches) while fielders learn to field the ball and throw to any appropriate base. Every player bats and plays the field in each inning. Players begin to learn the concept of force outs and the position of catcher. Coach piitch team rosters are kept small (typically 5-6 players) to maximize fielding and hitting opportunites for each player.
