The school’s under 10s tee-ball team is made-up of boys and girls from Years 1 to 4. 

The team plays every Saturday as part of the ACT Softball League and is a friendly environment for students to enjoy the collegiality of a team sport and develop a variety of skills for life.

We asked our Year 2 student, James, about his tee-ball experiences and how being on the team has helped him with team building skills.

“Playing tee-ball is exciting as you don’t know when the other team is going to hit the ball or if it is going to be a strike or a foul. Tee-ball helps my team building skills as we need to take turns to bat and pitch and know where everyone is going on the bases,” James said.

Over the last couple of years, Joey Phantoms have enjoyed significant success and two teams have taken out the premiership in their age division. 

Much of this success can be attributed to the fabulous community which supports the team. Parents help out each week with the training and older siblings have taken on leadership roles and run drills and support the coach at games.
