Please review the following prior to registering for the Fall 2024 season.

BGSLL offers coach pitch divisions for our 6 U and 8 U players. Both of these divisions focus on building skills and learning the fundamentals of the game. Girl pitching is introduced in 8 U so the girls can begin to get used to what they will see in older divisions. 10 U and above are all true fastpitch divisions. Fastpitch is closer to baseball and offers a higher-speed game. The pitch, although still delivered in an underhand delivery, comes much faster. Fastpitch is delivered, usually in a windmill type wind-up for more power, and the pitch comes in at a much smaller arc than slowpitch or coach pitch. Because the pitch comes faster, it is much harder to get a hit. Fastpitch also has many more double plays, as it is hard to hit a good solid hit out of the outfield.

One of the biggest differences between fast pitch and coach pitch is you can lead off and steal bases, and players in fast pitch can score on passed balls. Coach pitch runners must stay on their base until the ball is hit. This makes the game closer in strategy to baseball. In coach pitch, there is absolutely no stealing, and you are not allowed to leave the bag until the ball is hit by the batter, making for a slower game. With stealing allowed in fastpitch, speed is just as important as power.

2024 Fall Softball will consist of one practice through the week and double headers on Saturdays. 

-- The season will begin on August 10th, and will end on October 5th (9 games for 6U & 10 games for all other divisions). 

-- All games will be played on Saturdays, as double headers.  

-- In the event games are canceled due to weather, we will do our best to reschedule them accordingly.

-- Players will receive a jersey and socks.
