5U is designed for very young children with no experience in baseball. It helps teach players very basic baseball play in a fun and safe environment. Each week, two teams are scheduled on a diamond. The teams use the first 30 minutes for practice in smaller groups with coaches and parent helpers, with the remaining time used for a game. The hitting team uses a foam bat to hit a foam ball off a tee. Coaches are encouraged to modify the game to suit the kids.
