10U | Building the Foundation

At 10U, our focus is building strong softball fundamentals through repetition, instruction, and experience. Players are encouraged to learn the game from multiple positions while developing the skills and confidence they need to grow as athletes.

• Players typically begin developing 2–3 primary positions

• Emphasis on fundamental skills, proper mechanics, and learning the game

• Players will typically develop at and play multiple positions

• Repetition and game experience are important parts of development

• We begin developing softball IQ, situational awareness, and understanding of the game

• Players earn opportunities through attitude, effort, preparation, and coachability

• We may hit up to 12 players when appropriate for the team and tournament

• Playing time is not guaranteed or equal, but coaches will look for opportunities to get players game experience

• Our goal is to build confident, fundamentally sound players who are excited to continue growing in the game
