Modified Pitch - important info
If your child is 9 and would like a year in the modified pitch division, before going into the kid-pitch division, please register for their real age group, however, when the question pops up asking if they need a year in modified pitch - please be sure to select yes.
Refer to the 2024 Age Charts, before making adjustments, as they may actually be in the modified pitch division per the rules.
INSTRUCTIONAL DIVISIONS (AGES 5-8)
The instructional divisions of softball serve as crucial stepping --stones in preparing young girls for fastpitch softball.
In the 6U – Manager Pitch Division, the focus lies on foundational skills, introducing basic techniques of throwing, catching, and hitting while familiarizing players with the fundamentals of the game in a supportive environment.
As girls progress into the 8U – Modified Pitch Division, they start refining their abilities with a modified pitching style, allowing them to adjust gradually to the speed and dynamics of fastpitch softball.
Both divisions emphasize skill development, teamwork, and instilling a passion for the sport, laying a solid groundwork for a smooth transition into the more competitive realm of fastpitch softball.
