Divisions Offered
Tee Ball (Ages 4–6)
Designed for our youngest players, Tee Ball Softball introduces the fundamentals of hitting and fielding in a fun, supportive environment. Players hit from a tee, and rules are adapted to focus on fun, fitness, fundamentals, and teamwork. Rookies will participate in a weekly clinic. Instructional games will be held on Saturdays.
Pioneers (Ages 7–8)
Also open to age 6 players who have completed two seasons of T-Ball Rookies
This division introduces a more structured style of play with a mix of coach and player pitch. While wins and losses are introduced, the primary focus remains player development.
Minors (Ages 9–10)
Also open to drafted age 8 players with two completed Pioneer seasons
A competitive division played on a 60-foot diamond with a 35-foot pitching distance. Parent involvement as managers, coaches, and volunteers is strongly encouraged.
Majors (Ages 11–12)
A competitive level played on a 60-foot diamond with a 40-foot pitching distance. Families are encouraged to get involved and support the program through coaching and volunteering.
Seniors (Ages 13–16)
Senior League Softball is played on a 60-foot diamond with a 43-foot pitching distance and offers older players the opportunity to continue developing their skills in a competitive environment.
Player Requests & Volunteers
If the Pioneers, Minors, and Majors divisions support more than one team, a player draft will be conducted to ensure competitive balance across teams. While player requests in these divisions will be considered, they cannot be guaranteed. All Tee Ball requests must be submitted by February 28th to be considered.
Our league thrives because of our dedicated volunteer coaches, and their involvement is essential to providing a positive and successful experience for our players. Volunteer coaches help teach fundamentals, foster teamwork and sportsmanship, and create a supportive environment where players can grow both on and off the field. With strong coach participation, we are able to form teams, keep rosters balanced, and ensure each player receives the attention and instruction they deserve. If you are able to volunteer as a coach this season, we strongly encourage you to indicate your interest during registration—your time and commitment truly make a difference.
Preseason Clinic Returns
Preseason clinic is back for 2026 and will now be held at The Akademy Sports’ NEW indoor training facility this season! The anticipated start date is February 17th, and the clinic will be open to players in the Pioneers division and older. Additional details will be shared soon—stay tuned!
If you are interested in private training, camps, or additional clinics, we encourage you to visit The Akademy Sports website to explore everything they have to offer. Their programs provide excellent opportunities for players to continue developing their skills outside of the Little League season. Learn more at: theakademy.com
Participation was record-breaking last year, and we are excited to keep that momentum going into the 2026 season!

Little League is where skills are learned, friendships are formed, and a lifelong love of the game begins.
