8U - Participation in this age group is open to all girls who will be 6, 7, or 8 years old before 1/1/2021. Softball at this age group is purely instructional, introducing the girls to the basic concepts of fielding, throwing, and hitting a softball. The only ball used for this age group is an 11" "softie" softball. Girls are only required to supply their own softball glove (and a willingness to have fun) and batting helmet. Other age appropriate equipment such as balls, bats, batting tees, etc. will be supplied by HYA. Team shirts, pants and socks are provided.

Practices and games are held twice per week.  Practice days and games will be determined once the league schedule is issued in April.  In the past, games have been on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings against other associations within Lancaster County.  New for 2021, the league is establishing rules for 8U games.  Also, an end of year tournament, in early June, is being discussed.

The registration fee for the 2021 spring season is $75.  In addition to the registration fee, participation in a fundraiser is mandatory.  During the registration process, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out of the fundraiser for an additional fee of $40. 

Registration will close on February 19th.
