Offered for kids ages 9-10, the primary goal of the 10U League is to transition from a coach-controlled environment to one that resembles an actual competitive game, while still maintaining the major goal of learning, developing, and having FUN. This is probably the biggest transition your child will make throughout their softball career because it introduces them to seeing actual live pitching from other kids as well as throwing pitches themselves. It is also a very big transition for YOU, the parent, because, although your child may have been a great hitter throughout the instructional level, they may struggle a bit at adapting to other kids throwing the ball. Our advice is to just be patient, and for that brief moment they're in the batter's box or on the pitchers mound... take your parent hat off and just be a fan.

At the 10U level, we are introducing player pitchers. As pitchers are still working on mechanics and control and not speed. The rules at this age allow a coach to pitch to his team (that is batting) after a pitcher pitches 4 balls. The count restarts so the hitter is not at a disadvantage. This is still a developmental stage of the game.
