Summer 2023
Pre T-Ball, T-Ball, and Rookie Ball Leagues & Classes
Registration Closes Sunday, June 4th
The Arlington Heights Park District offers Saturday morning Pre T-Ball and T-Ball classes and weekday Pre T-Ball, T-Ball, and Rookie Ball leagues beginning the week of June 12th. Registration opens at 10am on Tuesday April 4th for Park District residents and on Tuesday, April 11th for non-residents. All sessions are held outdoors.
Enthusiastic Park District staff coach both programs, teaching players proper throwing, catching, hitting, and batting techniques. Both programs are instructional and neither have prerequisites at any level (Pre-T, T-Ball or Rookie Ball). Players should register according to their age/grade rather than their experience.
