Recommended for girls aged 9-10. Players build and refine their fundamental skills while beginning to understand game
strategy and teamwork. This is the first level that’s kids will pitch to other kids. To keep games moving
there is a 4-run limit per inning and stealing is only allowed from 2nd to 3rd base. There is no dropped third strike or mercy
rule. Players use an 11” ball which is easier for the younger players to handle. Our league participates in
the North Central Mass Softball Regional League,
which will contain further rule modifications and allows for a post season playoff tournament and an interleague all-star
game. All players must attend our annual player evaluations to ensure proper placement.
There are two to three games per week on either Tuesday at 6, Thursday at 6 or Saturday at 12. Makups can be held
any day of the week. Games start in mid April and end in mid-June.
Two practices will be held per week starting in early April and continuing thru the end of the season. The days of
the practices are the decision of the head coach and can fluctuate throughout the season.
Home games will be played at the Spaulding Softball Field.
Away games will primarily be played in either Ayer, Fitchburg or Lunenburg, but can occasionally be played in Ashburnham,
Gardner, Hubbardston, Narraganset, Westminster or Winchendon.
We anticipate having one team of 10-12 girls.
