Girls Pinto

The Girls Pinto program is aimed to build upon skills learned in T-Ball. T-Ball is not a prerequisite, however. Girls will continue to learn the basics of throwing, catching, hitting, running the bases, positions, and softball rules.  Our volunteer parent coaches emphasize teamwork and fun through practice and game activities.  New coaches are always needed.  Parents - Please consider volunteering to coach your daughter's team.   A coaches' meeting/orientation will take place in the spring to provide further information about the program, suggested activities, and rules.  Your involvement is necessary and appreciated.

Season Schedule:  Teams have practice/games on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings.  Each activity is 60 minutes. Over the past few years interest and excitement has allowed for a great Pinto program.

Equipment: Girls need to have their own glove, helmet and bat. 10-inch compression softballs, bases, Tees (for those who continue to need this support), and uniforms are provided.

Team structure and schedule:  Teams are coached by volunteer parents.  Each team has a Manager designated to be in charge of communication with the League President, team parents, and other Managers and Coaches.  Teams typically have two Coaches. Teams are made up of approximately 6-8 girls.  Efforts are made to balance teams by age and school.

Games:  Teams play on one of our great softball fields.  Coaches pitch to their own team.  Scores are not kept, outs are recorded, but each team bats through the order.  Fielders are instructed to throw to first base or another appropriate base.  Teams rotate once all girls have batted.  Snacks and other team activities to build teamwork and excitement are encouraged.
