Kindergarten girls play only on Saturdays.  Kindergarten boys play only on Sundays.

My child does not need a Tee to hit.  Can they play with older kids?

No.  GRBA Recreation Programs are run strictly by grade. 

My child is in pre-school and just missed the cut-off.  Can they still sign up?

Unfortunately, no. GRBA Programs are run strictly by grade.  If a child's birth date is before October 1, 2005 and are Kindergarten eligible, but they have not enrolled in Kindergarten, an exception can be made.  However, please be advised that they must revert to playing back with their grade next year and will be required to play 2 years of Tee Ball.
