Minor League Softball is for children 7-8 years old. The division is machine pitch but coaches may elect to pitch themselves as well. The diamond has 60-foot base paths and a 35 foot pitching distance.
A player who is league age 6 for the current season and has played a year in Tee Ball is eligible for the coach pitch or machine pitch minor divisions. There is no minimum or maximum composition for rosters, but most leagues have rosters in the 8-12 range. Competitive divisions of Minor League Softball may only use nine players on defense.
