Softball

National offers softball registration for girls age 9 – 16.

With the exception of softball, all of our programs are co-ed. Girls up to age 8 play in co-ed BlastBall, Tee-Ball, and Mini Minors; girls 9 and up may choose between Softball and co-ed Baseball.

The following divisions are offered:

  • Minors (ages 9 – 10)
