SOFTBALL FOR GIRLS:

Girls may play in the Baseball program, but most prefer to play softball with their peers. Baseball Girls Softball offers the same competitive learning experience for young ladies as does Baseball for boys, and for the girls who prefer baseball.
Common fund-raising efforts, shared facilities, and a single administrative organization for both boys and girls makes sense at the community level. Affiliation with a single national organization makes integration of the boys and girls programs at the community level far easier.

The Growing Baseball Girls Softball program offers tournament competition for girls, but emphasizes league play within the community to provide playing opportunity for all of the girls who are interested in the game. Softball leagues are identified by the same league names for various age levels as baseball, Shetland, Pinto, Mustang, Bronco, Baseball, Colt and Palomino. To allow more flexibility at the community level, various age groups may be combined to meet the needs of a particular community. Bronco League Softball, for example, is for players 12-and-under, and where numbers are insufficient, players from several ages may be combined in a single league. The same is true of leagues for older players.
Baseball provides rules and tournament play for both Fast Pitch and Slow Pitch girls softball, and as in baseball, diamond sizes are tailored to the physical ability of the players.
