The goal of the Minor Softball league is to build on the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, and throwing while being introduced to recreational competitiveness. At this level, girls will be pitching to each other. Players will continue to have fun while experiencing teamwork, sportsmanship, and a passion for the game.  Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or if issues arise during the season.

Mukilteo Little League Softball inter-leagues with other Little Leagues within District One. We cannot do the schedule until District One identifies who we will interleague with and when we are able to get together. Games typically will be scheduled first for Juniors and Seniors, then Majors and finally Minors and Rookie Softball. It has been our experience in the past that softball higher levels will not start playing until the middle of March/first week in April. District One is planning to start Minors and Majors softball games on March 23rd.

Practices are held at the discretion of the team manager at the Mukilteo Little League Complex softball field or at local schools. Practices are generally twice a week until games begin.  Once games begin, practices may be once a week.
