Fun & Inclusive Team Sport
Teeball is a fun and inclusive team sport. Similar to baseball and softball, however, Teeball uses a fixed tee to place the ball onto before hitting, allowing us to introduce children to the sport through safe and simplified rules.
Team sports provide an opportunity to work with others and build confidence and coordination.
Learn Through Play
Teeball is an exciting sport that builds hand-eye coordination through motion. Hitting, running and throwing with friends promotes teamwork, basic skills and fun.
No previous experience is required and suitable for all skill levels. It's about promoting the foundations of team sport through play.
Dedicated Girls Teeball Competition
Carine Cats is one of the only clubs with a stand-alone girls-only competition. Allowing us to introduce more girls to the sport, with the opportunity to continue to play softball or baseball as they get older.
There are also opportunities to participate in a girls-only representative team for the club and interdistrict levels. From ages 6 to 13 competitions are available. See FAQs below for more information.

The main philosophy of the Allocation Policy is to try and provide an even competition in each age group while enabling children to play with at least some of their friends. To this end, the following guidelines will be followed:
- The results of last year’s competition will be reviewed. The side that won and lost most of their games by significant margins will be earmarked for redistribution for this season.
- When registering, a player will nominate up to 3 friends to play with. The club will do our best to allocate your child with at least one listed friend request.
- The re-distribution will be done on the basis that from 2 to 6 players from the strongest side will be swapped with the same number from the weakest side, trying to maintain peer groups as much as possible.
- The Club recognises the value of players being able to maintain friendship groups and as such, will endeavour to place children in a team with some of their nominated friends. However, it is not guaranteed that the teams will be able to move together as a whole team through the years.
- Teams are made up of players from two year groups e.g. Junior teams are made up of 6s & 7s, and all attempts are made to have an even mix of ages in each team.
- Where practical in the older age groups, players who have been selected to represent Carine Cats at interdistrict (States) level in previous seasons will be spread as evenly as possible across all teams. Senior teams play in a non-graded competition.
- Number of players per team will be kept as even as possible and no team will have more than 12 players, especially if other teams in that division have less than 12.
- Any request for allocation to a lower or higher age group must be made to the Registrar in writing and the decision will be made at the discretion of the Committee. Requests to play in a lower age group are generally only approved in exceptional circumstances and the committee decision is final.
