Welcome to DAYAA’s Teeball!  We are a non-profit recreational league that serves the Derry Area and surrounding communities. Our mission is to foster the physical and mental development of our youth. Teeball is a sport designed to introduce kids to the basics of learning how to throw, catch, and bat in a fun team atmosphere. Participants get active while learning useful sports skills and making friends. Teeball is co-ed program. 

~Teeball is appropriate for youth ages 3 - 6 (age as of April 30th 2025). This program is great for children to gain team experience and learn to take directions from a coach. Children will be placed on teams and play games. 

** Listening skills are important for any team sport, including teeball. If a younger player (3-5 years old) cannot listen or follow directions, you might want to consider waiting until they are more mature before placing them in what could be a frustrating situation. Better to wait and have a good experience, than rush it and turn them off from baseball.

What to expect: Teeball is the opportunity to build your child's love of baseball.  This will include unique ways to have practice, while teaching the core fundamentals: Throwing, Running, Catching, Hitting, Fielding. Your child will typically have 2-3 interactions with their team a week. Each team will be anywhere between 8-12 players based on registration numbers.  There will be a mix of practices and games.  Practices and games are no longer than 1 hour.  By the end of tee ball, a player should be able to properly grip a bat and hit a ball off a tee, run the bases in correct order, generally know how to field a ground ball, throw a ball correctly (e.g. “step and throw”), and have a general knowledge of the positions (first base, second base, shortstop, etc.). 

Where are the games and practices held? We utilize the teeball field at the DAYAA Baseball Complex at 1 Huston Street, Derry.

When will we hear about what team my child is on?  Registration will be begin January 19th and close March 1st. Teeball teams will be created and announced by April 1st. 

When will practices and games start?  Teeball teams start practice the week of April 14th.  Games usually start about 3 weeks after practices have started and games run into beginning of June.  Typically, the first few weeks of the season are two practices during the week (evenings) and one Saturday morning/early afternoon.  Games follow the same time schedule.  

Who coaches the kids and what do I do if I'd like to help?  All coaches and team parents are volunteers. If you are interested, please indicate that when you register your child. All coaches and team parents must have the required clearances before the start of the season. Please see the “Become A Coach” section on www.dayaabs.org.  If we do not have enough coaches, we will not be able to have a season.

What equipment does my child need?  Kids should have their own baseball glove, teeball bat and batting helmet. We will ensure all children are able to play regardless of ability to purchase equipment.

What does my child need to wear for practices and games?  For practices it is recommended to wear a t-shirt and long pants in case there is any sliding.  The pants could be sweat pants, baseball pants or anything they are comfortable in.  Each child gets a team t-shirt and hat to be worn to games.  Baseball pants are not required but look awfully cute!  Socks and belts are not provided. 

Payment: $50 per player. Please click the payment box at the top of this page.

***There will be three mandatory fundraisers during the Spring season***

- Registration will begin online Sunday, January 19th, 2025 until Saturday, March 1st, 2025

******This season, we are hoping to get 6u divisions going for both baseball and softball.  This division is for all 6 year olds and 5 year olds who have at least one season of teeball experience.  

- Softball will need one team to proceed as the HAAA has a 6u division.  Softball will travel for games. You may sign up in the softball section of the DAYAA webpage. THERE IS NO NEED TO SIGN UP FOR TEEBALL.  If there is not enough for a full team, teeball and softball will work together to determine placement of these ladies. 

- For baseball we would need 2 full teams to play and it would be within DAYAA organization this season. No travel. Please sign up below and be sure to check the box noting that you would be interested!
