A Softball Overview

Little League Ages 6-7, as defined by 2025 Little League Softball Age Chart.

Division A Softball is the first level of our instructional Lower Division Softball program. This level is geared toward teaching sound softball fundamentals. A Softball is coach-pitch. If players are unable to hit the ball when pitched by a coach, they are given the opportunity to hit from a tee. Outs are not recorded, score is not kept, and every child plays on both offense and defense in every inning.

Buddy and manager requests are allowed but are not guaranteed.
