Rookies (Tee Ball) Softball is for girls 4-7 years old who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding.

In Rookies Softball, players hit a ball off a batting tee. Rules of the game may be varied to accommodate the need for teaching and should focus on fun, fitness, and fundamentals. The primary goals of Rookies Softball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of softball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork. There is no minimum or maximum composition for Rookies rosters, but we recommend smaller roster sizes to help keep all players engaged. No live pitching is permitted in this division. At Lake Mary Little League, the diamond used is a 60-foot diamond.  

Minor League Softball is for participants 5-11 years old and can be operated with multiple divisions that are based on age and/or ability.

The Minor League Softball Division is for league age 7-10 year olds. In this division, players begin to pitch to batters. Development in hitting and fielding continue as the players are prepared to advance to the Major League Softball Division. A player who is league age 5 or 6 for the current season and has played a year in Rookies (Tee Ball) may be eligible for the Minors Division based on skill assessments. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 35 feet.

The Little League Softball® division (Majors Division) is for players ages 9-12.

The Majors division field uses a 60-foot diamond and a 40 foot pitching distance. A local league may dual-roster 12-year-olds, assessed capable, to a Major and a Junior division softball teams. The local league has an option to choose a Tournament Team (or “All Stars”) of 10-to-12-year-olds from within this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament.
