Girls Softball League
From the eager learners in the Little Ladies program to the advanced level of play in the Majors division, the philosophy of this program is to provide an opportunity for players to have fun, participate and learn the fundamental skills of softball. The league is open to all levels of players.
Teams will be formed into the following age groups:
- Little Ladies (Kindergarten - 6 years)
- Rookies (7-8 years)
- Mini-Minors (9-10 years)
- Minors (11-12 years)
- Majors (13-16 years)
Under Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) rules, the girl's age as of January 1st of 2011 determines which division the girl is placed. In the Mini-Minors, Minors and Major Divisions, the evaluation of players is followed by a draft to help assure that teams are evenly balanced. The evaluations will cover throwing, fielding, hitting and running.
