4-7 League
Player Evaluation
Players in the 4-7 league do not go through an evaluation process at the beginning of the season.
Players are auto-generated onto teams.
Equipment
This league uses an 11″ ball.
Players are encouraged to have a personal glove, helmet, and softball cleats.
Players may additionally want a bat and equipment bag.
**As players outgrow their equipment they will often donate them to the league. We do have several used bats and gloves that are available.Practice
Practices are one hour. Prior to the season’s beginning, practices are held one weekday evening and one weekend. Some teams practice on Sunday.
Most teams reduce to one practice per week during the season; although, a coach can choose to continue both weekday and weekend practice.
Games
The 4-7 league has games during the week at 5:45 and on Saturday at 9:00, 10:15, 11:30, and 12:45.
Games are not played on Sundays. Wednesdays are typically reserved for rain make-ups.
CBFO requires that all players are in the batting rotation and fielding roster. Older leagues may sit out one girl per inning on defense but must rotate each inning. A player can not sit out more than one 1/2 inning.
The 4-7 league is a combination coach pitch and tee-ball. Each girl gets 5 pitches from the coach. After that, we bring the tee out. As many swings as it takes.
