Programs

Step up to the plate with the Pleasant Dale Park District T-Ball League for ages 3–5! This beginner-friendly youth baseball program is the perfect introduction to the sport, giving young players a fun and confidence-building first experience on the diamond.

Designed specifically for preschool athletes, the T-Ball League teaches foundational skills such as hitting off a tee, running the bases, throwing, catching, and working as part of a team. Volunteer parent coaches lead each session with a focus on encouragement, teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun—no prior baseball experience required!

Teams will practice once per week to build skills and familiarity, then take the field for Saturday morning T-Ball games, allowing players to put their new talents into action in a relaxed, age-appropriate setting. Every child gets plenty of opportunities to participate, learn, and enjoy the excitement of baseball at their own pace. Games and practices are structured to be age-appropriate, ensuring young athletes stay active, make friends, and enjoy the excitement of baseball in a supportive environment.

Give your child a memorable start in America’s pastime—register for the Pleasant Dale Park District 3–5 Year Old T-Ball League and watch their skills, confidence, and love for the game grow with every swing!

*Uniforms and Official MLB/Minor League hats are included in the cost of registration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T-Ball registration deadline is Sunday, May 10th. All players registered by the official registration deadline will receive a team uniform and hat from their coach on or before the first day of games. Participants registering after the deadline will be subject to a $20 late registration fee, will not be allowed buddy requests, and will be placed on teams strictly based on roster availability. Late registrants will not be guaranteed a uniform by the start of the season. Late registration will remain open until the start of the season OR until the program has reached capacity.

We are unable to accept requests for specific coaches or practice times on any registrations. Practices will be on weeknights between 4-7pm, and are based on volunteer coach preference and availability. Players that cannot attend their team’s scheduled practice will be offered the opportunity to practice with another team at a more convenient time.

NOTE: One properly completed buddy request will be honored per participant (See program guide for "Buddy Request Rules").
