Meridian Softball
MYS offers softball for kids in 1st through 6th Grade. Our Softball teams play in the North County Baseball/Softball League with Lynden, Blaine, Nooksack, and Mount Baker. There are 3 recreational divisions in this league - 8U (pitching machine), 10U, and 12U. Registration opens Feb.1st and runs through February 22nd. Practices typically begin late March with games starting in early April. Teams play 2 games per week, 1 on a weeknight, and the other on Saturday. The season runs through Memorial Day weekend.
Space is limited in all divisions. Once a team is full, everyone else will be put on a waitlist until there is enough kids for a whole other team.
8U - Pitching Machine (1st & 2nd Grade)
8U Softball is a pitching machine league. Pitching machine is set 40' from home plate and the bases are 60'. Teams will use a baseball size ball for this league.
10U (3rd & 4th Grade)
10U Softball is a fast-pitch league (40' pitching distance, 60' bases). Girls are just starting to learn to pitch, so if a batter is thrown 4 balls, the coach will come into pitch instead of the player getting a walk.
12U (5th & 6th Grade)
12U Softball is a fast-pitch league (40' pitching distance, 60' bases).
