As athletes age out of 12U (Female) and move into 14U (Female) there are significant changes to game play.  The girls are pitching, batters are seeing more velocity, base stealing is allowed, and the catching position has added importance.

To ease the transition, we will providing all 2009 born female players the opportunity to start learning some of these skills. Friday evenings at Peter Barry Duff Large, from 5PM to 8PM there will be a training session to teach  pitching, catching and base running. This will be followed by a game where the girls will get the opportunity to use these new skills.

Games will follow 11U rules, which have special modifications to allow pitchers and hitters to continue developing while maintaining pace of play. The rules can be viewed here.

These sessions are drop in style and will start on Friday, August 6.  All 12U female players currently registered with Paradise Minor Baseball, will be automatically added to this group. There is no obligation to attend, but if you could RSVP your attendance from week to week that would help with planning and be greatly appreciated.
