12U
Ages 11-12, The 12U level continues to advance the complexity of play, introducing rules such as the dropped third strike, stealing home, and the infield fly rule. At this level the players play with the full-sized 12" softball, and pitch from a greater distance from the plate. Fundamentals are reinforced, and more advanced styles of play are taught.
The girls will be taught the value of team play as well as the importance of sportsmanship. Leicester Girls softball is an opportunity for girls to develop new friendships while having fun playing and learning the game of softball. We hold weekly optional indoor practices from January through March, free for all registered players from our 8U division up. We have an end of season party outside on our field at the end of June for all players and divisions. We will also be offering 3 low-cost indoor Pitching/Catching Clinics ahead of our Spring Season for divisions 8U and up.
