Q: When are practices?
A: In the T-Ball division, practices are set by each Manager by working with parents to find the best day/time that works for most people. Not everyone will be able to make each practice, but Managers will try to do their best to find a time that works. Typically, practice is one weekday after school. In other baseball and softball divisions, practice fields are assigned up to a month or two in advance. By late January, you should have a good idea of the schedule for you team. Typically teams practice one weekday and one weekend. Weekday practices are an hour long and start between 5pm and 8pm. Only the older divisions practice after 7pm.
Q: When are games?
