League Ages for this level are 9-10 depending on skill level, but could include a few 8 year old girls. Players pitch the entire game at a distance of 35ft. There will be umpires, and stealing is allowed once the ball crosses home plate. Girls will learn the basic softball skills, and rules of the game. Practices begin after Spring Break and Games usually start in early May and run through June. If your daughter is selected for all stars, you may play into July. This is a travel league, so depending on the number of teams in the area, we typically travel within a 25 mile radius to keep travel distances to a minimum.
