The Howard Palmetto Baseball & Softball Association T-Ball Titans League offÂers boys and girls ages 5 and under (Kindergarten and Pre-K) a chance to play a team sport from January through early May. Games are played on Saturday mornings on some of the best baseball facilities in South Florida at either Coral Reef, Evelyn Greer or Suniland Parks. Players can join as a group (limit of 12) or individually to be paired up with a team. See why Howard Palmetto is now the largest recreational T-ball league in South Florida!
Howard Palmetto T-ball is an excellent, family-friendly experience for new and returning ballplayers. Games are only three innings long; no score is kept, and each child gets to hit and play in the field. Practice is set by each Manager and is typically held after school hours during the weekday no more than once a week. Coaches are expected to treat each child and parent fairly, provide a positive influence for kids, and most importantly ensure the kids have a fun baseball experience. The ideal age to start is if your child is at least 4 years old by January 1st.
Over the course of the season, there will be league picnics, a special Miami Marlins game for Howard Palmetto families and a clinic with the University of Miami Baseball team.
Equipment: Participants will need a glove, rubber bottom cleats and a helmet with facemask. A bat is not mandatory since players may share bats.
Included in the registration fee: A full uniform, team practice equipment (balls, bases, tees), player trophies and leaguewide events.
Each team will need parent volunteers to serve as Manager, Assistant Coach (up to 3) and Team Parent. Managers and Coaches must pass a background check and will receive tips on how to run practices, what skills to focus on and the expectations of gameday. Please contact T-Ball Commissioner Ron O’Brien at tball@howardpalmetto.com if you would like to manage your child’s team or should you have any other questions about the league.
