Dear Junior Division Players, Parents, Managers, and Coaches,
Your 2019 Benicia Girls Softball Board and Division VP's take our girls safety and instructional softball learning very serious.
Our goal is to always promote a positive and fun learning environment.
We have received valuable feedback from our Junior Managers, Coaches, Parents, Players, and Umpires this last 3 years regarding certain rules for the Junior Division.
After much discussion and deliberation we are amending a few supplemental Junior Division rules to improve our girls fundamental understanding of the game of softball at this age level of 8-10 year old players.
*To continue the success of our softball organization we must also continue
to encourage and build our umpires.
Without umpires, we are unable to offer a competitive and fun softball
learning environment for our girls.
The Junior Division is the first age group where we offer umpires, so this is always an adjustment for our players, coaches, and parents.
The Junior Division is also where we train and nurture our new and always improving umpire staff.
Remember, our umpires are our own children learning a new job and wanting to try their best.
Every game is an instructional environment for our daughters playing and for our umpires too.
Please lead by example, and continue to understand that players,
coaches, and umpires make mistakes.
We encourage all girls that have played in our BFP league to umpire and give back to the young women that are the foundation of our successful future.
Thank you for always thinking before speaking, and to be the role model
that you want your children to learn from.
Amended rules are highlighted in red for easy transparency and understanding.
4 Basic Rules have been updated for the Junior Division Only:
#1) There will be no practice games.
All games will count towards seeding and end of year tournament.
#2) There will be No Drop 3rd Strike Rule. Batters are out after three (3) strikes, whether or not the catcher catches the third (3rd) strike.
#3) Sliding into 2nd, 3rd, and home plate when stealing is recommended for the safety of both the offensive and defensive player. If a runner does not slide, and causes a collision with a defensive player, the umpire has the right to call them out.
#4) Runners may not steal home.
Reminder of our Junior Division Adjusted Strike Zone:
1. The Junior Division will have an adjusted strike zone to promote areas of play: pitching and batting. The enlarged strike zone increases the success of pitchers and prompts batters to swing the bat.
2. Umpires will call balls and strikes. The umpire has complete control of strike/ball determination but has been given the following guidance:
- Zone Up/Down: The strike zone will start at mid-calf and continue to the top of the shoulder.
