News for 4th & 5th Grade Families


 
  • 5th Grade players can sign up for either the In House Slow Pitch 5-12 program or for Travel Fastpitch.
     
  • 4th Grade players can sign up for either 10U League Only or for Travel Fastpitch.  Both are travel program options with some differences in time commitments. Please see our "About Travel" page for more details.
     
  • There is NO In House option for 4th Grade.
     
Due to limited enrollment in 2016 and our neighboring
cities no longer hosting 4/5 grade teams, the In House
4/5 grade program will not be offered starting in 2017. 
 

Any player can sign up for our Traveling Fastpitch program. The age group is based on the player's age December 31, 2017.

Fall Ball

  • Fall Ball registration opens in July.  
  • This is a short season: mid-August to end of Sept.
  • A casual, learning environment to improve player skills and knowledge while having fun.

Scenarios

Here are some examples of how a player could move through the Eagan Fastpitch Softball programs. You do not have to play years of In House Softball before joining the travel program.  Additionally, a player with birth year 2008 and later can sign up with the 8U travel program without having played In House. Playing In House is not a prerequisite for playing in the Travel programs.
