Central Springfield Little League is thrilled to announce the launch of our inaugural softball season, starting Spring 2025! While we are working to grow our Softball program to additional ages, Spring 2025 is open to girls ages League Age 6–11, with two Divisions: Minors Coach Pitch Division and Minors Player Pitch Division.

Minors Coach Pitch Division

Open to girls Ages 6–8 years old.

Minors Coach Pitch softball is focused on building confidence on the field and beginning fundamentals and skills for softball players who are either moving up from tee ball or just starting to play the game. While outs and runs will be kept, the focus is instructional and developing essential skills from fielding, hitting, catching and pitching.

Pitching is done by a coach or manager and is not “pitched” in the traditional sense from a mound, but usually from a closer distance with less force to allow players to gain skill and confidence hitting a pitched ball.

Rosters are usually comprised of around 10 players. All players are listed on the batting line-up, and all players will rotate field play each game in a variety of positions in order to continue to deepen position-specific skills.

Minors Player Pitch Division

Open to girls Ages 8–11 years old.

Minors Player Pitch softball is focused on building a player’s skills and beginning to identify specific position skills and training. Pitching is done by players and attention is provided to teaching pitchers the fundamentals and mechanics of the position while ensuring the safety and health of the players.
