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 2026 is open to girls ages League Age 6–12, with three Divisions: Minors Coach Pitch Division and Minors Player Pitch Division, and Majors Division.

Minors Coach Pitch Division (Single A)

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 8-10 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.
