Starting in the 2010 Season, FCLL will no longer offer a softball program. At this point in time there are no other Little League teams in our District that play with Little League and unfortunately Little League rules do not allow non Little League games to take place. There is talk at the national level of Little League to modify this to help local leagues and there are Little League Softball programs being formed as close as Washington County, but until we can gather more support right here in Mount Airy and anyone of the Four Counties we can not offer the program. This is not to say that we can not address this in the future, but right now the climate is such that our league can not provide a quality program.
We invite any and all of the previous softball players to come play baseball. What ever level you were at in softball will easily translate to baseball. Little League Baseball is for both boys and girls not just boys. Keep in mind that at the 2009 Little League World Series there were two female players in Williamsport competing against the best Little Leagues in the World. If softball is a sports goal for you when you enter high school or college, keep in mind that if you can hit a baseball, you probably can hit a softball. So transitioning back to softball should not be too hard. We encourage you to come out and play baseball this season.
If you have any questions about softball or a transition to baseball email information@fcllbaseball.org
