Division: Softball Minors
Pitch Type: Player Pitch
Little League Ages: 9-10
Player evaluations are required at this level and teams are assigned via a player draft to assure fair and equitable teams. This is a competitive level of softball where players pitch the entire season. Umpires are introduced to the game and official Little League Softball rules are enforced (with a few minor modifications for pace of play), including use of 11" softball, walks, base stealing and bunting. Players will learn to slide safely and properly.
Games are played on a 35/60 size field (35-foot pitching distance, 60-foot base paths). Scores and standings are kept.
Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this level of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
