The 10U level advances beginning players moving up from the 8U level. The 10U level is for girls from 9 & 10 years old with birthdays between May 1, 2014, and April 30, 2016.
This age group continues to focus on the development of key playing skills of softball to include throwing, catching, hitting, fielding and base running. At this age coaches will pitch to the batters with a less-defined arc on the ball to resemble the angle of pitches players will face as they advance to fastpitch play.
Girls 10U softball will run four days per week, Mon-Thur. Times are 10:45am-12:00pm and will be at LaFave Park (Sacred Heart Fields). Schedules for the entire summer will be posted prior to the first week of practice.
