Major Softball

The Little League Softball® division (sometimes known as the Major Division) is an advanced level division for girls, ages 10-12. Major Softball players are learning and advancing in their softball knowledge and skills, including pitching. Boys are not permitted to play softball.

The Major Softball program is the next step after Minor Softball where players will learn some of the more advanced skills of the game.

Inexperienced Little Leaguers should consider playing one season of Minor Softball before advancing to Major Softball. Players at this level will participate in Tryouts (late-February), and will be drafted to a team by Team Managers (early-March). Parents that have questions about their player playing up in 50/70 Softball or down in Minor Softball should contact the MALL board to discuss before registering.

Major Softball players use bats and baseballs designated specifically for use in this division. The roster size for a Minor team averages 10-12 players depending on parent involvement in coaching, with a season featuring 1-2 practices per week and 1-2 games per week played on weeknights and/or Saturdays. The diamond has 60-foot base paths and a 35 foot pitching distance.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this entry level of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
