GIRL'S SOFTBALL
Northwest Youth Softball
(NWYSB) is a division of Northwest Youth Baseball currently registering for its
second spring season. We are a fastpitch youth softball program for girls 7 to
16 years old. League Age is determined by the age of the player on December 31
of the preceding year. All divisions are considered competitive. Therefore,
all new players to NWYSB and players moving into a new division are required to
try-out. Also, all players are eligible to be chosen for the All-Star team in
their division.
We are busy
planning for the Spring 2008 Season. We have grown this spring to eight
teams: two
Farm teams (ages 7-8), two Mini-Minor teams (ages 9-10), two Minor
teams (ages 11-12) and two Major teams (ages 13-16). Our spring season will
include interlocking games against other local youth softball leagues, including
Miss Pinellas Park Fastpitch, Fossil Park and Seminole.
