How to score T Ball

Scoring a baseball game with paper and pencil is a tradition that goes back to the early days of the game. Keeping score is a great way to get more involved as a fan as you will really become engaged in the game and what’s more – scoring also gets you the best seat in the house!

These clinics will start with the basics and give you the skills to become more confident to add more of the nuances that make up baseball scoring. While the clinics are skewed towards Junior Baseball, the content will also suit those scoring Senior Baseball as well.

Monday 19 November
How to score T Ball
This is where most scorers start and the content will cover
• Game preliminaries
• Completing the Score Book and what to do with the Line-up (from the Coach)
• Fielding Positions
• A few ‘Pitches’
• How to record Hits
• How to Record Outs
• How to advance (move) Runners around the bases
• How to record Strike Outs
• How to show Runs Scored

Monday 26 November
How to score Beginner Liveball
This is for scorers who need to score baseball where pitches are being thrown to a batter (as opposed to T-Ball where the batter swings at a ball on a Tee). This clinic will also suit those who need to score Modball or Machine pitch formats of the game. The content is similar to that of the T Ball clinic but will cover in more depth how to record batters getting on base and how runners move around the bases as the result of a batter’s actions

Monday 3 December
How to score Intermediate Liveball
This is for scorers who want to build on the skills they have acquired over the season. We go into more depth on batter and runner movements and start to look at the dreaded errors. This clinic is best suited to those who perhaps already have scored for a season or who already have attended the How to Score Beginner Liveball clinic

What to bring
Pencils – if you have scoring pencils bring them, otherwise try and bring an orange, blue, red and green pencil along with a lead pencil (mechanical trigger pencils are great and raid your kid’s pencil case for the coloured pencils – that’s how most of us started!)
An eraser and sharpener
There will be handouts on the night but feel free to bring a note book
If you are already scoring, bring your scorebook
Gold coin donation

RSVP Required
Please RSVP by Thursday before each clinic so that we can have enough handouts and chairs for attendees
