JUNIORS SOFTBALL
Ages 13-14

• Some 12 year olds may be drafted. Some 15 year olds may play with a waiver.

Players must have had success at Majors, and be ready to add more skill and strategy to their game. Defensive awareness is key as leading off is allowed at this level. Strategy and knowing where to make the play and how to run the bases becomes a more critical part of the game. Base stealing, sliding, and lead offs are allowed at this level. Standings are kept and there is a tournament at the end of the season.

An additional All Star tournament takes place after the league tournament. Players are selected for this team and will compete for the district championship with the possibility to play in the State tournament.

• TEAMS: Teams are made up of 12 players. Teams are created by a skills evaluation and draft process in early February.
• PRACTICES & GAMES: Players will usually have four (4) “events” per week; two or three practices until season begins, then two games (1 weekday and 1 weekend) and two practices during regular season.
• VOLUNTEERS: Parent participation is necessary on many levels from Coaching, Umpiring, Field Preparation, Score Keeping, Team Parent, etc.
• FEE: $250. There is a family cap of $500. Financial aid is available upon request.
