Is Lil Sluggers a team or a class?

- Lil Sluggers is a youth sports development program that offers baseball "skill building" classes for children 2yrs - 6yrs. We are not a baseball team and we are not in any baseball league.

What does it mean on your registration pages when it says "All class times are not actual classes"?

- We rent out the space from each facility when run our Lil Sluggers program, and the facility management for each center offers us certain days & times per session to offer our program. If we do NOT have at least 3 kids registered during a time that we offer, the facility can choose to use that time for other facility programs, therefore unless two other children are registered for the class you child is registered for, the class will not "make."

Are the times offered on each schedule the only times available for class?

- Yes... and no! For individuals those are the only times we offer. If you have a group of at least 3 kids who cannot participate in any times offered, but can all agree on another day & time, you can contact the Lil Sluggers director about arranging something with the center to offer that time for your group!

The schedule shows classes on 3 different days, so do I need to go all 3 days?
- You pick the one day and time that is best for you and that is the one class you go to each week.
 
What do I need to bring to class each week?
- We provide all equipment needed for the class! We recommend bringing something to drink as not all facilities have water fountains.

What kind of equipment is used? And is it safe?

- We use light-weight plastic whiffle ball bats, whiffle balls, rubber tees & bases, & padded sliding mats! We cannot always prevent little accidents, but all equipment is light-weight and we have specific rules for when using the equipment that avoids 99.9% of all minor bumps and bruises!

Do I need to buy a glove and/or baseball cleats?
- Baseball cleats are not recommended as our classes are always held indoors either on turf fields or gym floors. Glove training will be introduced as early as 4 years old, but is not a required purchase!

How long are the classes?
- All Lil Sluggers classes run for a minimum of 45 minutes.
 
My child will turn 3yrs old in the middle of the session, so can I just sign him/her up for a 3yr old class instead of the 2yr old class?
- If you are new to the program we recommend doing the class that fits your child's age at the time you join. The coach can access the ability of the child once the session begins and recommend a higher level class (age group) and you are allowed to move up or down depending on the situation. This applies for all ages and classes.

Is this a "drop-off" program?

- NO! NO! NO! Under no circumstances should children be dropped off and left at the facility for class! Our coaches cannot be held solely responsible for the kids before or after class, nor are they responsible for individual situations during class such as "breakdowns" and potty breaks, as they typically have a full class to coach!

What happens if we pay for the full session and after 3 weeks my child does not want to go anymore?

- Please refer to our Refund Policy under the General Policies link.
