Abstract
A tee-ball apparatus having two foot pads which can be adjusted for each batter is disclosed. Once adjusted, the foot pads are not displaced by normal batter actions but can be quickly readjusted for other batters when needed. The tee-ball apparatus can be used with either leftie or rightie batters. The post may be displaced by an errant swing and returned to its normal upright position. The post may also be removable from the rest of the apparatus to allow the batter to practice swinging at pitches while still utilizing the foot pads to maintain proper stance.
