8U COACH PITCH
Open to girls
Ages 8 years old and under
Coach pitch softball is focused on deepening beginning fundamentals and skills for softball players who are either moving up from tee ball or just starting to play the game.
Pitching is done by a coach or manager and is not “pitched” in the traditional sense from a mound, but usually from a closer distance with less force to allow players to gain skill and confidence hitting a pitched ball.
Rosters are usually comprised of around 8-10 players. All players are listed on the batting line-up and all players will rotate field play each game in a variety of positions in order to continue to deepen position-specific skills.10U MINORS
Open to girls
Ages 9-10 years old
Minors softball is focused on building a player’s skills and beginning to identify specific position skills and training. Pitching is done by players (and then by coaches after four balls are thrown) and attention is provided to teaching pitchers the fundamentals and mechanics of the position while ensuring the safety and health of the players.
Rosters usually have 12-15 players on a team and players are more consistently played in specific positions based on the skills they can demonstrate to match those needed for each position. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 35 feet.12U MAJORS
