The Junior Softball division is an advanced level division for girls, ages 12-14. Junior Softball players are often playing middle school softball alongside Junior Softball. Boys are not permitted to play softball.

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

Inexperienced Little Leaguers should consider playing one season of Major Softball before advancing to Junior 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 Senior Softball or down in Major Softball should contact the MALL board to discuss before registering.

Junior Softball players use bats and baseballs designated specifically for use in this division. The roster size for a Junior 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 used is a 60-foot diamond with a 43 foot pitching distance.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this teenage 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.
