8U Coach Pitch Softball

8U Kid Pitch is offered in the the spring and fall to girls who are league age 6, 7, and 8 (age as of December 31st of the previous year).  The 8U division is our first introduction to girl's softball.  The focus is centered around learning the basic skills of softball (throwing, catching, hitting) in a fun, semi-competitive environment.  Teams will compete on a softball size field and use a size 11" softball.  8U teams generally practice twice a week until the season begins dropping to 1 practice per week once games begin. Practices can be held during the week and on weekends. 8U teams will play 1 to 2 games per week (usually during the week with some Saturdays) for 7-9 weeks. Participants can expect practices to be held at Runde Park, Catawba Park, Turner Field, Gold Hill Middle School with home games at Runde Park, Catawba Park and Gold Hill Middle School.  Teams can also expect away games in Fort Mill and Rock Hill.  An end of the season tournament is also offered at one of these facilities.
