League Descriptions

6U 

  • The focus of this league is on fundamentals: throwing/catching/hitting.
  • Games are coach pitch.
  • Girls will use a 10" ball. 
  • Expect one practice, and one game per week, usually with the practice on Saturday and the game on Sunday. 
  • Games and most, if not all, practices will be at First Baptist Church.

8U 

  • The league continues to work on fundamentals, while beginning some work on defensive situations and base running.
  • Games are still coach pitch.
  • Girls now use an 11" ball. 
  • Expect one weeknight practice, and one game per week, usually on Saturdays.
  • Games and most, if not all, practices will be at Medlock Park.

10U 

  • We are still focusing on fundamentals, but in 10U we start girl pitch with an 11" ball from 35 ft.
  • We use coach "rescue pitchers" as well. Having rescue pitchers mean no one gets walked, unless they are hit by a pitch from a girl. This keeps the game moving while still allowing for pitching to develop.
  • Players are also allowed to steal 2nd and 3rd when the ball gets past the catcher.
  • Players have one weeknight practice and one game per week, usually on Saturdays but with some Sunday games. 
  • All games and most practices will be at First Baptist Church.

12U/14U (Spring and Fall)

  • This league is entirely girl pitch. We do not have rescue pitchers in 12U/14U.
  • Pitching distance is 40' and the girls transition to a 12" softball.
  • Stealing is allowed.
  • Players have one weeknight practice and one game per week, usually on Saturdays.
All-Star/Select Softball

This is a competitive program in which more highly skilled DHYS rec players compete as teams against other, similar teams in interleague games and tournaments throughout the year. Once a team is selected in the spring, it will continue as the All-star/Select team into the summer, etc. until the next tryouts are held. For more information, click here.
