Participating in Fall Softball gives players a chance to improve skills on the diamond in preparation for the next season. It is also good exposure for older athletes looking to play at the next level after high school. Players from ages 8 -15 are eligible to play and will choose a team based on their age and ability level. As far as age, if your athlete is 7 now consider them an 8 year old because again fall is preparation for next spring.
Programs Focus:
- Emphasis on proper fielding technique
