8U Softball – Player Pitch + Machine Pitch
8U softball division is for players league ages 7 and 8 (as of August 31, 2024). In this division the level of play advances to include player pitch (with machine pitch or coach pitch on ball 4), catching and base stealing with continued focus on the development of fundamentals, and fun.
This division uses a 10” RIF (reduced injury factor ball), and pitchers pitch from 30 feet from home plate.
In the fall, teams will practice 1 time per week and play games on the weekend (typically Sundays).
There will also be weekly pitching clinics for players who wish to learn how to pitch.
There is not a 6U / Coach Pitch softball division in the fall as there is in the spring. Players ages 5 and 6 can register for coach pitch baseball for the fall if interested.
Softball registration fees increase on August 1. Take advantage of the early bird discount.
