Fall 2020 Grades 3-4 Junior B League Softball

Junior B is an important transition league level and an introduction to the complete game with modified ASA/USA rules.  Players pitch (coaches pitch after 4 balls), 5 inning games (time permitting), introduction to limited stealing, no bunting, outs count, 4 run limit per inning.  Pitchers pitch from 35 feet, bases are 55 feet apart at 1st and 3rd and 72.4 feet at 2nd (from home plate).  The game becomes slightly more competitive with score keeping and umpires, however the focus remains on having fun and continuing to build skills.
