Welcome to NELLS Unicorn League Page
Unicorn League Softball is for girls 4-6 years old who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding. In Unicorn League Softball, players hit a ball off a batting tee to start the season eventually hitting a lob pitch my midseason. Rules of the game may be varied to accommodate the need for teaching and should focus on fun, fitness, and fundamentals. The primary goals of Unicorn League Softball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of softball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork. There is no minimum or maximum composition for Unicorn League rosters. No live pitching is permitted in this division. A smaller field is used for base running and fielding. All meetings are held at the Brookside fields. Unicorns will meet twice a week from late April to the middle of June. NELLS will provide a shirt, bats and batting helmets. Although, we highly recommend players use their own helmet for sanitary purposes. Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved as managers, coaches, and volunteer in a variety of other capacities.
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.
