Bluegrass
Girls Fastpitch Softball provides fast
pitch opportunities for all girls ages 4 and up in the Lexington,
KY/Bluegrass area.
Bluegrass Girls Fastpitch Softball defines league age. The current rule
defines league age as the player's age on January 1st. For example,
next Spring, if a child turns 12 before January 1, 2005, he or she will
play in the U-12 league as a 12 year-old. If a child turns 12 on or
after January 1, 2005, he or she will play in U-12 as an 11 year-old.
Allowing a player to "play up" is strongly discouraged and will only be
considered under extenuating circumstances as determined by the Board
of Directors. Under no circumstances will a player be allowed to "play
down", such as an 11 year old playing U-10 or a 9 year-old playing
Rookie.
