This division is where the fun really begins.

The 6U division is for our 4, 5 and 6 year olds (born 2016-18), teaching the girls the fundamentals of softball in a fun learning environment while playing together with their friends.

Girls aged seven with no prior softball experience can also play in this division. Girls are placed on teams together with their schoolmates to encourage friendship and camaraderie.

The playing rules are relaxed to encourage full participation. The 6U division is like T-ball but with an opportunity to hit a coach-pitched ball. This division uses the 10" RIF (reduced injury factor) softball.

The 6U season will begin in February 2023.
