Hempfield Youth Association

8U - Participation in this age group is open to all girls who will be 6, 7, or 8 years old before 1/1/2022. 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, socks are provided.

Practices will be held two times a week. Coaches will work on fundamentals of the game and position play. We are hoping to work with some other organizations to get some developmental games in. Remember, this is all about fun!

The registration fee for the 2022 Spring season is $100

Registration will close on January 31, 2022

Please contact Michelle Valeri-Groff with any questions about this program.
