We offer C-ball in the Spring and Fall. Reeds plays in the Davidson County C-ball League with Churchland, Davis-Townsend and Southwood.
Mission: Teach sportsmanship, teamwork, begin to develop basic baseball skills and most importantly... HAVE FUN!!!!
C-Ball is the first "Team Sport" experience for many children and our goal is to make that experience a great one. To support this goal, the objectives of the C-Ball program are to teach sportsmanship, teamwork, and begin to develop basic baseball skills. In this learning environment, the younger players will be nurtured with a combination of coach pitch and a batting tee,
REEDS C-Ball has been a terrific experience for the children, but we can’t provide this experience without volunteers. All parents are encouraged to participate in some fashion, whether as a coach, team parent, dugout helper. WE NEED COACHES! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW BASEBALL TO COACH CBALL! EVERY PRACTICE/GAME WILL HAVE AT LEAST 5 HELPERS.
If you would like to be a head coach. Please contact me: [email protected]. As a coach you have a lot of flexibility. You get to pick every practice day and time, as well as games.
If there is a certain coach or player you want to play with, please put this in the special needs/requests section when you register as I receive too many emails to keep track of everyone's wants and needs, thanks.
Thanks to all who participate as volunteers in making our league a success. Without your help it would not be possible.

Information Sheet
C-Ball may be the first "team activity" experience many children/parents have and our goal is to make that experience a great one. Our primary focus is to have fun while introducing the sport as a game to enjoy. Our focus will be on teaching listening skills, running the bases, learning how to properly throw, catch and hit. At this level, “if wiling” the parents are heavily involved in both practices / games. Volunteers can be full or part time – Coaches and Team Mom / dugout helpers.
How to prepare for C-ball? Use a tennis ball and introduce a “game” of bouncing the ball against a wall (without a glove). This simple repetitive action will support our efforts moving forward. The more you work with your child, the better their experience will be! You can also use the soft T-balls as well.
