• Small area games and drill stations based on the Softball Canada Learn to Play Program will be used to engage each child and to develop the basic movements and techniques required to progress in softball and sport in general. This is an introductory level and no prior softball (or baseball) experience is required. The drills and activities will allow players to develop their skills in the basics of throwing, catching, batting, and running.  This program is designed to allow your child to progress at their own rate in a fun and positive environment, and to give them the confidence to succeed in the next level, U9 (Coach Pitch).
• Parent assistance on-field is expected for practices and games at this age level in order to make the most out of the season.
