T Ball
T-Ball Season Term 4 2023 / Term 1 2024
T - Ball registrations are now open, please fill in the form below if your child is interested in playing.
The T-Ball season is a little different to other sports as it does not split Term 1 and 4 into separate seasons. Games for all grades are played on a Saturday morning at Hancock Park (Pirates Rugby Club) and range between 9am-11am depending on your teams draw. The competition is broken down into 3 age grades (the grades are governed by your child's age as at the 31st of December 31st 2023)
Under 7 grade:
This is the beginner's grade for children to learn the basic rules and structure of the game and is aimed at 4-6 year olds. This is a 6 a side team.
Under 9 grade:
This is a step up from the U7 and is a competitive version of the game. It is 9 a side and aimed at 6-8 year olds.
Under 11 grade:
This is an intro into softball grade where children will play a mix of T-ball and softball.

East Taieri Tigers Red had a great game last week and won by a massive 24 to
0 with the player of the day Hamish C, they then played there last game of
the season on Saturday and again won 22 to 0. The player of the day was
Lani. This is a very talented team and to keep the opposition scoreless two
weeks in a row is remarkable and this team has a great future if they stay
together, well done.
East Taieri Tigers Black have had a difficult post season only playing 3
games with COVID cancellations and to many byes in there grade. In there
last game we started to slow giving a 9 to 1 lead away after the first
innings only to storm back on the second turn at bat with all players
hitting the ball really well and scoring a further 6 runs. However we lost
13 to 7 and due to the superb second half effort every player was awarded
player of the day and I must say I am very proud of this teams performance.
There are without doubt some future champions in this team and they were
very dominant in the pre Christmas competition to win all there games and
will be awarded a trophy in due course.
