Description

TIMBIT

3-4

2023 & 2022

  • 60 minutes
  • 6pm
  • Mondays

Learning the Basics!
Parent-involvement is highly recommended and welcome at our Timbit games! Players will hit off a tee to start the season, developing into hitting from a coach’s pitch by the time our Year-End Tournament comes around!

ATOM

5-7

2021, 2020, 2019

  • 75 minutes
  • 6pm
  • Tuesdays & Thursdays

Next Level!
Players in this age group will hit from a coach’s pitch, with a 5-pitch limit.  Strike outs can happen!  Learning how to make plays on the bases is a huge step in developing their understanding of the rules. 

SQUIRT

8-10

2016, 2017, 2018

  • 75 minutes
  • 6pm
  • Tuesdays & Thursdays

Kids Pitch!
Graduating from Atom into the upper divisions needed an in-between step, where players can learn to pitch and make plays at the plate! In our Squirt division, players will pitch to their own team with a 5-pitch limit. By the end of the season, we will see players ready to move up to more competitive levels of fastpitch softball.

JR PEEWEE

11-13

2013, 2014, 2015

  • 90 minutes
  • 6:30pm
  • Mondays & Wednesdays

3-Strikes, You’re Out!
Pay attention to the count! In our Jr Peewee division, players are pitching to the opposite teams and trying to avoid a walk.  We get rid of the 5-pitch limit in this division and transition to strikes & balls, plus stealing and home runs too! Most common baseball rules apply, with some limits to help our ballers get used to all the changes in the field.

SR PEEWEE

14-16

2010, 2011, 2012

  • 90 minutes
  • 6:30pm & 8pm
  • Tuesdays & Thursdays

Competition is Heating Up!
We have adjusted the age brackets of our Sr Peewee group to allow for a more level playing field and to keep things competitive!  It’s a great place for a new-to-ball player to get the hang of things before moving up to the “big” leagues of Bantam, AND it’s a great place for your high-school age pros to just play ball and have fun with their friends on the diamonds.

BANTAM

16-19

2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

  • 90 minutes
  • 6:30pm & 8pm
  • Mondays & Wednesdays

Highest-Level Competition!
Our Bantam division has been around for a few seasons now, and it just keeps growing!  Carded umpires ensure official play, and spectators are encouraged to enjoy the high-level competition and summer fun at the diamonds. This division is ideal for both new players and experienced high-school athletes, offering a great way to stay connected and build lasting memories.

All game night details and times are currently tentative.  We will confirm this info before registration closes on March 15th
