Welcome to NELLS Minors League
Ages 8 to 10 years old. Eight year olds may play in the minor division if they have prior experience. An 11 inch regulation softball is used. This is a player pitch division. Modified rules are utilized to limit the numbers of walks and runs scored per inning. Otherwise, all other rules are per the Little League rule book. Teaching of fundamental skills as well as the fun of playing softball is the goal. Most games are played at Brookside fields although some games will be played at Northcrest and Homestead fields. Minor players will begin practicing in early April with their season ending by June 30th. NELLS will provide a shirt and batting helmets. Although, we highly recommend players use their own helmet for sanitary purposes.
Help Us Help Them. Get Involved In NELLS
At NELLS we rely on a devoted collection of adult volunteers to help ensure that the league remains structured and runs smoothly. We are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic parents, family members, and friends to manage, support, and coordinate our teams, facilities, and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of all our girls.
All parents of children involved in NELLS are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent, volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your daughter in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child’s life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.
