Coach Pitch is an instructional league to teach 6 to 8 year old boys and girl players the fundamentals of baseball and softball by the simplest method possible - letting them play the game. Players in Coach Pitch will use metal bats and helmets during play and more focus will be put on coach pitch verses off the tee.
Players in this age range have a short attention span in any single activity and games must move rapidly. Only the basic fundamentals of the game should be brought out. It is not uncommon for players of this age, initially, to be unfamiliar with which is first base, which is third base, and which field is left and which is right. Lack of knowledge indicates merely that the player has not yet been introduced to the game and has no relationship to the player's potential athletic ability.
