Growing with the Game – Games for Junior Softball
This resource has come about largely due to the desire for Associations to adopt a consistent set of junior softball rules and modified games for younger players just learning to play softball.
The modified games described in this booklet have been created for youngsters from a very young age to junior college students. The games have been developed following consultation with coaches and associations around New Zealand. Games have been modified to provide a more suitable playing field dependant on the age and capability of the player. The rules are recommended for you to incorporate in your own leagues.
The young child or junior athlete plays our game primarily for fun, enjoyment, participation and to interact with others. It is our responsibility to ensure that those needs are met so that the child continues to play softball to a higher level. By providing modified games of softball, youngsters are in an environment where everyone can experience a measure of success and are therefore more likely to remain in the game.
I hope you have success and fun in the delivery of these games to your junior members and coaches.
