Canton Rookie Spring Softball League

Playing Rules

The following rules are for the Canton Little League Softball Rookie Division. These were reviewed and agreed on by various members of the CLL board of directors. Our goal is to teach the rules of softball in order to form a strong base that can be built upon in future play.  The focus is not on winning at this level.  The focus is on developing softball skills and knowledge of the game as well as providing a positive experience in being part of a team.  Most importantly – HAVE FUN.

Rookie – 8U DIVISION

Regular Season Rules:

1. 1x a week session will consist of skills training that will focus on fundamentals.
