The Willetton Baseball Club (Inc) is an affiliated club with the Tee-Ball Association of WA (TBAWA), Baseball WA, and the South East Metropolitan Softball Association (SEMSA). The Willetton Baseball Club(inc) is an independent club whose objectives are :

a) the provision of facilities and opportunities for young people to play tee-ball, softball and baseball.  

b) the provision of opportunities for parents to participate in sport with their children: and

c) the creation of an atmosphere in which the acquisition of skills and enjoyment of playing are at least as important as the outcome of the game.

TEE-BALL AT WILLETTON

The Club fields teams in the Nippers, Diamondbacks,  Rookies, and Hotshot Divisions. Team usually have 11 or 12 children except for Nippers which has 6-8 children. Players are placed into teams according to factors such as their age, skill level, and where available grading from last season. Other considerations that come into play in grading teams are parental involvement and sponsorship distributions. The Committee believes that players develop better skills if exposed to different Coaches each year. The Committee also believes that young players develop better team and social skills by having contact with other Club players from season to season. Consequently players are usually reorganised year to year into different teams.

TRAINING: All teams train once a week. Training times and location are at the discretion of the coach. Usually training is conducted at Willetton Reserve Monday to Friday between 4.30pm to 5.30pm or 5.30pm to 6.30pm. Team training sessions generally commence in the first week in October.

GAMES Games last one hour or seven innings (whichever comes first) and are always played at Willetton Reserve on Saturday mornings. Although they can differ year to year, the following game start times will apply this season: Nipper's and Diamondbacks - 8.30am and Rookie's and Hotshots - 9.45am. The Club insists on a Player Rotation Policy being applied whereby all players are fairly rotated through both infield and outfield positions as well as taking their turn on the bench. All players are given equal opportunity to develop skills in all aspects of the game. No one player is allowed to sit out two consecutive fielding innings. The Club also insists that games must at all times the be played in the spirit of the Tee-Ball philosophy - ie, the four Fs: Fun, fair play, fundamental skills and family involvement.

The cost for playing Tee Ball at Willetton in 2011/2012 is $90 per player. Costs are reduced for families who have more than one child playing at the Club- $85 ea for two children, $80 ea for 3 or more.
