Softball is offered for girls 6 to 14 years old. League age requirements are determined by Little League International. Please use the League Age Calculator near the bottom of this page to find your child’s league age. Within the softball program are teams in the following divisions: 8U, 10U, 12U & 14U.
8U
The 8U Division is designed for players 6 through 8 years old. In this division a combination of coach and player pitching is used from a 35’ distance. Teams from surrounding towns will be involved in league play.
10U
The 10U division is designed for players 8 through 10 years old. This is a player pitch league in which scores and standings are kept and includes the opportunity to compete against teams from surrounding towns in District Two. Emphasis is based on applying the fundamentals learned at the lower levels and continuing to learn game strategy, while learning the skills specific to each position. Teams will typically play 2 games a week.
12U
12U is a competitive division designed for 10 to 12-year-olds in which scores and standings are kept. Teams will compete with other towns in District Two. While the competitive feel increases at this level, coaches continue to focus on refining and improving skills, team building and teaching the game. Playing time may not necessarily be equal among players at the 12U level.
14U
14U is a competitive division designed for 13 and 14-year-olds in which scores and standings are kept. Teams will compete with other towns in District Two. While the competitive feel increases at this level, coaches continue to focus on refining and improving skills, team building and teaching the game. Playing time may not necessarily be equal among players at the 14U level.
