This division continues to build on the core fundamentals of softball, including throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, and base running. As players grow in confidence and skill, coaches will pitch to batters using a flatter arc to better prepare them for the transition to fastpitch. The focus remains on steady development, game understanding, and creating a positive team experience.
