2024 Fall Baseball Divisions

Below are the softball divisions for the Fall of 2022 and the birth years for each division.

5U - Tee Ball: 2019, 2020,2021
This division is geared toward beginners as an introduction to the game. It will predominantly be made up of boys born in 2019-21 and will focus on the basics.

6U - Beginning Coach Pitch: 2018, 2019
In this division, we introduce coach pitching, still utilizing the tee after three swing-and-misses. We also introduce other aspects of the game, such as leaving the base when out, taking a second base on outfield hits, etc.

7U - Coach Pitch: 2017, 2018
In 7U, we begin to keep score and outs. These games are played quickly and offer an exciting brand of baseball.  Bases are at 60'.

8U - Coach Pitch: 2016, 2017
In 8U, we continue coach pitch in a bit more fast paced and exciting game. This is the last level before kids start to pitch.

9U - Kid Pitch: 2015, 2016
We introduce kid pitchers in 9U, without dropped 3rd strikes, tight bases, and scoring must be done via hit/walk/or an error. You cannot score on a passed ball or errant throw back to the pitcher. The difficulty ticks up a notch with kid pitching and stealing. 46' mound distance and 65 foot bases.

10U - Kid Pitch: 2014, 2015
Welcome to real baseball. Everything is in play. Dropped 3rd strikes allowing runners to take first. Leading off. Pitching from 46' and 65 foot base paths.

11/12U - Kid Pitch: 2012, 2013, 2014
Same as 10U, except the pitchers move back a little more (50’) and the bases are moved back (70').

13/14U - Kid Pitch:2010,2011,2012
Same as 12U, except the pitchers move back even more (54’) and the bases are moved back (80').

2024 Fall Softball Assessments

Thursday, July 25

Fall assessments are for ALL players in 8U-12U, including players that are returning to their team, who DID NOT assess in the spring. This would include players that were not registered in the spring, players that were registered but could not attend assessments, and players that have decided to play up a divison this fall.

Assessments allow us to help balance teams, fulfill requests to play up, and fulfill requests to play with friends or on specific teams. Returning players that do not assess will count as a high draft pick for their team. Free agents that do not assess will be randomly assigned to teams. Please see below PDF for information regarding assessments.

8U - Coach Pitch ($135): 2016, 2015

Games and Practices

Practice day and times are selected by coaches, but generally, our 5U/6U divisions will practice around 5:00 pm, 8U around 6:00 pm, 10U around 7:00 pm, and 12U/14U around 8:00 pm, give or take 30 minutes.

For games, 5U/6U will play mostly on Saturdays, with one or two weeknight games (day of week will vary). 8U-12U will play a mix of weeknights and Saturday, aiming for a 50-50 split. Weeknight games will be Monday for 12U, Tuesday for 8U, and Wednesday 10U.





Equipment Needed

Players are responsible for providing their own equipment, as follows:

  • Bat - tee ball bats are fine for 5U and 6U; 8U and up must use USA/ASA or USSSA certified fastpitch bats; bat buying guide
  • Helmet with Facemask - the facemask is a requirement
  • Glove
  • Rubber/molded Cleats - no metal
  • Fielding Masks - these are strongly encouraged, as the ball size compared to glove size in softball leads to a lot of deflections off the face; fielding masks (or helmets w/ facemask) are required to be worn by the pitcher in all divisions
  • Equipment Bag - Batpacks are the most popular
  • Uniforms - Included in the registration fee - will be designed by your coaches 
  • Pants, Socks, and Belts - Colors will be chosen by your coach; we encourage all coaches to choose black pants, as that is what our all-star teams will wear

If interested in purchasing balls to practice with at home, 5U and 6U use the 10" ball, 8U and 10U use the 11" ball, and 12U and 14U use the 12" ball.




Softball Rules

Please review the PBSA Softball Rules to better understand the rules for the division in which your daughter plays. There are numerous age-based modifications to typical softball rules, particularly in our 8U and 10U divisions. When everyone has a proper understanding of the rules, it results in less friction during games.
