ELM Ball Association

Time Commitment & Schedule

Many parents want to know just what they'll be letting themselves into.

Practice schedules vary, but usually practices are twice a week, on weekday evenings. Depending on the level of the child, practices may be short (like an hour) or longer (a couple hours). Practices start usually around the beginning of April, and actual games start usually at the beginning of May. Depending on the league, there may be a pre-season or post-season tournament.

Tee Ball and Coach Pitch games are often played on the same night, consecutively. This makes it easier for parents who have children in both leagues to attend the games.

Besides making sure that your children attend practices, parents can also volunteer to assist with practices (background check needed) and help with the concession stand. Volunteers are what make the ELM Ball Association successful and keep it going year after year. Usually parents are only asked to help with the concession stand once per year. Many hands make light work!
