2012 Lexington Little League Softball Program
How each league works and  a general timeline for the 2012 season.

Softball T-ball is a combined league for K and First Graders. Teams are formed with all attempts made at keeping children from each elementary school together. Teams will have one game per week and one on Saturday. The games are three innings long with a chance for each player to bat each inning. Games generally last one hour. The focus is on having fun while learning some of the basics of softball. A soft safety baseball is used in this league.

Farm league is for Second Grade girls only. Teams are formed within each school with some schools combined, depending on the number of players. Teams will meet twice a week - one game on Saturday and one combined team practice/scrimmage during the week. A safety baseball is used in this league.

Minor league is for Third and Fourth grade girls. New minor league players (all third graders and new fourth graders) are rated prior to the season in order to spread the talent evenly across all teams. Teams are chosen by managers and coaches, who will then notify players of the team assignment prior to season start.

Major league is for Fifth and Sixth grade girls. New major league players (all fifth graders and new sixth graders) are rated prior to the season in order to spread the talent evenly across all teams. Teams are chosen by managers and coaches, who will then notify players of the team assignment prior to season start.

Please note that for Minor leagues and above, teams are no longer aligned with the grade schools. Your daughters will get the chance to meet and start new friendships with girls from other schools.

IMPORTANT: If your daughter is a new minor or major league player (and you have did not attend the first ratings session), you must make every effort to attend ratings on Saturday, January 21st at the LHS fieldhouse. Minors is from 1:00 to 2:00 and Majors is from 2:30 to 3:30.

General 2012 Timeline:
January: Registration and ratings
February: Teams are set
March: Players are notified
April: Opening Day Parade and Ceremonies
