NCLS: Farm Division

In this division, the players will have basic skills and understanding of the game, and focus more on team play and skill-building.  There will be a combination of player-pitch and coach-pitch, ensuring no walks.

Farm Division is for players in grades 2-3. Some newer players can be asked to play at Instructional Level to learn basic hitting and fielding skills. Our goal is to place girls where they will be most successful and gain the most development during the Spring.

Preseason practices are held 1-2 times per week. Once games begin coaches will continue to practice in addition to approx 2 games per week.  Games will be played on Monday & Wednesday evenings.

Minor and Majors play in the Norfolk County Softball League.  NCSL towns are Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Walpole and Westwood.  Games are USA regulation, fast pitch, 6 innings, using USA umpires. No new inning will begin after 1 hour 45 minutes from first pitch. Uniform tops, socks and hats/visors are included in the registration fee and do NOT need to be returned. Players will provide their own pants. Black pants are preferred, but some teams have elected to wear grey. Check with your coach.

Games are held our well maintained fields, including the state of the art turf at Sugrue Field. The season runs from mid April through the first week of June, ending with the popular Awards Banquet.
