In House Softball Team Descriptions
Kindergarten/ 1st Grade
At K/1, the emphasis will be on learning the basics of softball – throwing, catching, hitting and fielding. Coach pitching will be the standard, but a tee will be available. We will decrease the number of games over historical levels, but increase the number of practices. Players must have their own glove.
K/1 teams play at:
Cedar Alternative Center
2140 Diffley Rd
Eagan, MN 55122
Nights of Play - Mon/Wed
At 2/3, we will continue to use coach pitch as the standard. We will build in additional practice time. Players must have their own glove.
News: 4th & 5th Grade Families (eff 2017)
- 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.
Any player can sign up for our Traveling Fastpitch program. The age group is based on the player's age December 31, 2017.
