Step up to the plate, young boys and girls!
D-Bat Ruston is offering the perfect opportunity for area boys and girls to learn the game of baseball while growing their love for it.
In the month of January, D-Bat Ruston will offer eight sessions of the “Born to Play Indoor T-Ball League” for ages three through six years old.
The one-hour sessions will run on Saturdays (Jan. 4, 11, 18, 25) from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and on Wednesdays (Jan. 8, 15, 22, 29) from 6 to 7 p.m.
“We are starting this 100 percent because we want to get the love of the game started at a young age in these kids lives,” said D-Bat Ruston owner Keeton Tennison.
“The kids will play in a fun, energetic environment that is controlled so failures aren’t magnified the way they are on an outdoor field,” said Tennison, who also owns Ten-10 Training in Ruston. “For example, because of the size of the cages, if a kid overthrows first base they only have to run a few feet to pick up the ball as opposed to 30 feet on a regular outdoor field.
“These kids will get a lot of reps. There will be a lot of failure and because of that we don’t want a kid to get discouraged at a young age. We want them to love the game.”‘
The league will focus on hitting, throwing, base-running, catching, and throwing motions.
The cost is $30 per session or $160 for all eight sessions.
“They will be grouped up each select day of teams of five or six,” said Tennison. “Each kid will play an infield position and we will rotate them through and put them in different scenarios. We want each kid to get a chance to experience each position on the field.”

Tennison also said that a number of renovations have occurred at D-Bat Ruston recently, providing additional opportunities for participants.
“We have put in a sports performance and speed training station where we can help baseball and softball players of all ages improve their strength and speed,” said Tennison.
The staff at D-Bat Ruston is loaded with former collegiate athletes and professional trainers.
