Softball Majors

Ages 9-12 year olds.

The Majors is designed for players that have shown the ability to perform the essential skills and progressed towards advanced skills in hitting, fielding and/or pitching. The focus is on the continued development of pitching and catching skills, while expanding on base running skills. This is done while also teaching situational awareness, and game strategies while continuing to have fun. The girls play on a field that uses a 40’ foot pitching distance and 60’ foot base paths. Little League rules are followed, these including pitch counts and playing time requirements. A 12” softball is used in this division. 

Players may be selected to play on a Tournament Team (or "All Stars") of 10-to-12-year-olds from within this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament. The culmination of the International Tournament is the Girls Little League Softball World Series, featuring teams from around the globe.

Softball Minors

Ages 6-8 year olds.

This division focuses on skills essential for building a solid foundation for the game of softball while having fun! Coach Pitch is intended for players who are ready to hit a moving ball. Little League rules are modified for the youngsters to promote skill development. Coaches are allowed in the field and pitch to their own teams. We do not keep a strike count at this level and kids are given as many as 6 pitches to hit. The base paths are at 60 feet, while the coach may pitch from 35 feet (or closer). An 11” softball is used in this division.
