Little League Ages 10-11* as defined by 2024 Little League Softball Age Chart.
Division Coast Softball is the second level of our Upper Division Softball program. Players should have past success at the AAA level and be ready to start hitting pitching of different speeds. At this level of play, there is greater emphasis on understanding and executing on defense. At the plate, putting the ball in play is even more challenging due to the continued improved pitching skills. Games are played against Falls LL teams, Snoqualmie Valley LL teams, and Valley LL teams. Games may also be played against teams from Eastlake LL, Sammamish LL, Issaquah LL, and Redmond LL. The season ends with the Valley Tournament.
