What Are The Average Dimensions Of A Turf T-Ball Field?
Setting up a turf ball field requires precision and care to make sure the field is functional, safe, and designed in adherence to standards and guidelines.
T ball is a great game between two teams of between 9 and 12 players per team. It was designed and is used to be a fun way to teach the fundamentals of baseball or softball to young children, typically kids aged 4-7. Players are able to hit a ball off of a tee, rather than having to hit a ball pitched to them in the air - truly allowing them to focus on their swing, hand-eye coordination, base running, and fielding the ball.
The dimensions of a t ball field are similar to those of a little league baseball field, but the base paths are closer together and vary depending on the age range of the girls and boys playing. Turf t-ball fields are typically 50 to 60 feet in length. The distance from the back of home plate to the outfield fence is typically 200 feet or less.
Measuring for and laying out a t ball field allows you to perfectly plan for the right amount of turf for a specific portion of the field or the entire field. As a general rule of thumb, you would want to plan for 36,000 square feet to plan for the entire field inside of the fence, which equates to about 20,000 square feet in the outfield, and 10,000 square feet for the infield.
