Pitching Clinic:
LYA Softball is happy to announce the details of our upcoming Spring Pitching Clinic with coach Leah Tymeson, Director of Softball at Ascent Athlete!
Session Details:
Location - LYA Field B
Dates & Time - Sundays, April 23rd - May 28th from 3-4pm
Price - $50 for six-week group sessions (a steal!)
***Each pitcher will need to bring a parent or capable sibling/friend to catch for them. We recommend the person catching bring a bucket to sit on (trust us..it saves your knees!).
Leah is the Director of Softball at Ascent Athlete and the Head Coach of the Unionville Varsity Softball team. She brings a wealth of knowledge and her clinics are always a huge success! She has trained many of our LYA and Lightning pitchers over the years. No experience necessary! Leah is excellent at teaching girls who have never pitched before but are interested in trying it out (hint hint Rookies & Minors!!)
2023 SPRING SEASON programs:
Quickball - 4-6 years old - USA Quickball is a structured program that LYA Softball has implemented in place of tee ball. It is designed to provide a positive experience at a young age that will help young players and their families fall in love with the greatest game ever created! Quickball is based on fundamentals, hustle, action, teamwork, and having fun! Quickball grabs the attention of young players and lets them learn without being bored or intimidated. The program also provides a coaching guide and resources that make it clear and easy for parent volunteers to participate. Aside from wearing comfortable clothing and sneakers, no softball equipment is needed for this division.
Rookies - 6-8 years old - We have been instituting clinic style practices in our Rookies program which concentrate on the fundamentals of softball. Besides throwing, catching, hitting, base running and pitching, our goal is to help girls fall in love with the great game of softball. The Rookies program starts with coach pitch and moves to player pitch near the end of the season. The Rookies program includes a postseason District all-star tournament against other area rookie softball teams.
Minors – 9-10 years old - The Minors program has also been using clinic style practices with much success. Players do the pitching, with a modified "coach-pitch" rule that allows coaches to step in and pitch in lieu of batters reaching base via a "base on balls" (walk). The Minors division holds preseason evaluations in order to keep in-house teams competitively balanced. The Minors division offers an end of season in-house playoffs, a playoff tournament with other area teams, and a District all-star tournament team.
Majors – 11-12 years old – The Majors program is the pinnacle of Little League Softball with increased pitching distance, more competitive rules, and a faster game. The Majors division holds preseason evaluations in order to keep in-house teams competitively balanced. The Majors division offers an end of season in-house playoffs, a playoff tournament with other area teams, and a District all-star tournament team.
Junior/Senior – 13-16 years old - This is a player's first opportunity to play on a high school dimension softball field with traditional softball rules. Players have the opportunity to continue playing as All-Stars in post-season tournaments.
