About the Softball Program
Here at Roslyn Boys & Girls Club we strive to do the best we can to make playing softball a great experience. We want everyone to have the best time possible. We offer mid-summer workouts starting in July and winter workouts starting in February. All our players receive a jersey, pants, socks, and a visor.
COACH PITCH SOFTBALL (Girls, 6-8 years of age)
The Coach Pitch Softball Program is an extension of the Tee ball program. Instead of hitting from a tee, the coaches pitch to the batter. The same basic fundamental skills are emphasized as in the Tee ball program, with the additional concepts of swing strikes, force out, tag plays, and 3 outs constituting 1/2 an inning. This program is for girls ages 6-8. Games are non-competitive. The season begins in March with weekly indoor practices. Outdoor practices and games begin in April. The season concludes in late-May.
10U SOFTBALL (Girls, 9-10 years of age)
This is the next step in softball following coach pitch. This step is still instructional. The girls will begin to pitch to each other, and there will be no walks issued. If there is a walk, the coach will pitch to the batter until there is a hit or a strike out. This is to keep the players interested in the game. Our coaches work with the players as much as possible to ensure they have a positive and fun softball experience.
12U SOFTBALL (Girls, 11-12 years of age)
This is instructional, but the rules change to a little more advanced and the play is a little more competitive. The coaches will work with the girls as much as possible to help them to continue to excel and enjoy playing.
15U SOFTBALL (Girls)
At this age we want to encourage the players to work hard and do the best they can. We will continue to make it a fun and enjoyable learning experience while playing. We still want the players to learn and build great values that will stay with them on and off the field even after softball ends.
