T-balls

Balls on stands

T-balls are the lightweight balls used in tee ball, a simplified version of baseball designed for young children.

These balls are typically softer and larger than regulation baseballs, making them easier for beginners to hit and catch while reducing the risk of injury.

The term also refers to the sport itself in casual usage: The kids have T-ball practice on Saturday.
