Greencastle Youth Softball Association is proud to offer a 6 and under Instructional League. The GYSA Instructional League consists of players from ages 4 to 6 and is the result of a combined effort between both the Fastpitch and Slow Pitch Divisions. The Instructional League merges the previous Slow Pitch Pigtail Division with the younger age players in Fastpitch.

The Instructional League provides a ten game season focusing on developing basic skills for both Fastpitch and Slow Pitch including throwing, catching, and hitting. Additionally, basic game situations will be taught including base running and fielding plays. Batters will have the ability to hit live pitching from coaches in each at bat, as well as have the opportunity to hit off of a tee if no contact is made after a number of pitches.

In order to introduce beginning players to the fun and excitement of game situations, scores will be kept and run rules will be in effect.

GYSA is excited to provide this opportunity for beginning players to learn the game of softball while preparing them for both the Fastpitch and Slow Pitch Divisions. As always, parents are encouraged to volunteer in all areas where possible including coaching, score keeping, and team parenting.
