T-Ball League
Kentwood's summer T-ball League is for children in kindergarten and first grade. As of 2010, the program takes place from the beginning of June through the beginning of August. The first two weeks are spent teaching the children how to play T-ball and the rules of the game. The remaining six weeks of the program involve Kentwood teams competing against each other. Kids must bring their own ball gloves, but the batting stand and soft safety ball are provided to each team. Teams are randomly assigned, and participants receive a team T-shirt.
