We have a new organization under USA Softball. Historically we have been participating in the softball division of Little League softball. In Little League farm, were you had 6, 7 and 8-year-olds, we had kid pitching with Coach back up.
Now we are in USA Softball, and it looks like the 8U division should be coach pitch.
If the kids don’t learn to pitch in 8U or at least start learning, what does that do to the 10 U division? Or does it work out ok because The batters have developed a better eye and better coordination, and the fielders have developed their skills farther than they would have, waiting for a batter to hit a struggling Pitcher.
I’m wrestling with this, so I’d love to hear experiences. Thanks!
