Why I am hosting this event: There needs to be a 9U division in softball! I want to make the first year of kid pitch as fun and productive as possible. I DO NOT believe in first year kid pitch players playing against older/more experienced girls. It is not a good recipe for development and for girls to grow the love of the game.
