Our Girls Softball divisions include players ages 5 through 16.
Our spring softball season runs from April to late June for all age groups. Practices start for all divisions in April, when the weather clears and fields become playable. Games typically start the last weekend of April, and go through late June.
All ages indicated are based on the player's age as of Jan 1, 2024
Micros (ages 5-7)
League Play with on field instruction. Coaches pitch, and use a hitting tee after 4-5 pitches. We focus on teaching the fundamental skills of throwing, catching, fielding and hitting. We also play a simplified game, allowing us to teach the basics of the game. Offensively, the whole team hits each inning, allowing every player the same number of at-bats. Outs are used, but not counted. Defensively, these young fielders get to rotate positions after each inning, providing more opportunities for players to field and make plays.
- This year, Micros players will get a new glove included in their registration!
- Also for this year, each team will have a one hour clinic with a hitting coach.
- Typically, Micros play 2 to 3 days a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
- Saturday games may be cross town games, against other towns in our Little League District.
- Season runs from April to late June.

Minors (ages 8-10)
League Play, with umpires. The players pitch, and batters can hit or strike out, but can't walk. Upon 4 balls, the coach pitches to the batter to complete the at-bat.

The season culminates with playoffs and a league championship.
