Rockdale Christian Youth Softball

Our youngest players learn the fundamentals of softball in a fun, low-pressure environment. T-League focuses on:

• Basic batting skills using a tee
• Fielding and throwing fundamentals
• Base running basics
• Teamwork and sportsmanship

Parents are on the field with their children, helping guide them through each play. Games are non-competitive with an emphasis on participation and learning. Every player bats each inning!

RCYS follows modified USA Softball rules appropriate for each age group. Key highlights:

• All players bat in a continuous batting order
• Coaches pitch in all divisions
• No metal cleats in any division
• No outside food — concession sales keep fees affordable
• Tobacco-free, alcohol-free facility

Player evaluations help us build balanced teams. During evaluations, we assess:

• Batting mechanics and contact
• Base running speed

Evaluations are required for Divisions 1, 3, 4, and 5. T-League players do not require evaluation.
