Yeungjin College Department of Sports Rehabilitation Donates T-Ball Talent at Maseok Elementary, a Small School on Jirisan Summit

The Department of Sports Rehabilitation at Yeungjin College (President Choi Jaeyoung) visited Macheon Elementary School, located below Cheonwangbong Peak of Jirisan Mountain, on the 29th to conduct a talent donation event called the "Visiting Tee-ball Class."

According to Yeungjin College, the Department of Sports Rehabilitation and the Daegu Tee-ball Association (President Yang Ssangyong) visited Macheon Elementary School (Principal Yoon Jeongmi) in Macheon-myeon, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province on the morning of the same day, and held a "Visiting Tee-ball Class" talent donation event for the students of the school.

Students from the Sports Rehabilitation Department at Youngjin College are volunteering their T-ball skills at Maseok Elementary School, a small school located at the summit of Jirisan.

Macheon Elementary School is a small school with a total of 19 students, and it is located closest to Cheonwangbong Peak of Jirisan Mountain.

On this day, eight students from grades 3 to 6 at Macheon Elementary participated in the "Visiting Tee-ball Class," where they learned the rules and methods of playing tee-ball and played a tee-ball game together with the visiting group. The visitors donated tee-ball bats, balls, tees, and bases to the school.

Tee-ball is a sport derived from baseball, where the ball is placed on a batting tee behind home plate and the batter hits the stationary ball, with no pitcher involved. While most rules are the same as baseball, stealing bases and sliding are not allowed.

Yeungjin College and the Daegu Tee-ball Association signed an MOU in 2018 for the training and support of personnel for operating school sports club tee-ball tournaments.

Yeungjin College, the Daegu Tee-ball Association, the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, the Daegu Sports Council, and other related organizations have cooperated to successfully train and support referees and record keepers for the Daegu Superintendent's School Sports Club Tee-ball Tournament hosted by the Ministry of Education, the National School Sports Club Tee-ball Tournament, and tee-ball tournaments organized by the Daegu Sports Council every year.

Kim Daehan, head professor of the Department of Sports Rehabilitation at Yeungjin College, who led the "Visiting Tee-ball Class," said, "Tee-ball games not only help adolescents in their growth period develop healthy minds and bodies, but also allow them to experience the importance of communication and cooperation through team sports. I am pleased that, in cooperation with the Daegu Tee-ball Association, we are able to introduce tee-ball to students at small rural schools."

Meanwhile, the Department of Sports Rehabilitation at Yeungjin College, newly established in 2023, is establishing itself as a specialized department integrating sports and rehabilitation, recording a high application rate of 13.2:1 in the 2024 admissions.
