Minors Division ages 9-11
In the minor's division we start to focus more on developing the basic fundamentals. Introducing more drills and techniques. Situational play starts to come to the forefront as well. This division is where competition really begins. This is a player pitch division, and players are selected by a DRAFT therefore, we will not accommodate schedules, practice days, times, locations, coach's requests. The team the players are drafted on is the team they will play on for the season. We try to keep to a 12-player roster to maximize play time and average about 12-14 games. Competitive divisions of Minor League Softball may only use nine players on defense. The diamond has 60-foot base paths, and a 35-foot pitching distance also plays with an 11-in ball.
