Twinsburg Youth Softball League
The goal of the Twinsburg Youth Softball League (TYSL) is to provide Twinsburg schools system girls with an opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of softball. We recognize that individual youths have different objectives. Some want to have pure recreational fun while others are more interested in improving skills to prepare for school programs. The league attempts to satisfy both objectives. As such, we offer four programs.
The TYSL Meeting on Tuesday, February 14th, at 7:00 pm will be held at the Twinsburg Community Center. All are welcome and encouraged to attend, especially potential coaches and assistant coaches or anyone wanting to be involved.
Recreational Fast Pitch
This is a recreational program for girls currently in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The girls will typically play two games per week, one on Saturday and one during the week. The season begins in mid-May and is finished by the July 4th holiday. The makeup of the divisions is as follows:
Instructional: Kindergarten and 1st grade (coach pitch - advanced 1st graders can move up)
Division 1: 2nd and 3rd grades (coach pitch - advanced 3rd graders can move up)
Division 2: 4th & 5th grades (kid pitch)

Competitive Fast Pitch (local travel to neighboring communities)
This program is for more serious players. Many of the area communities (8 - 10) have put together one competitive 18, 14, 12 and 10 & under team. TYSL will enter one team in each division this year. Tryouts are held for the the U10, U12, and U14 competitive teams each fall for the next season.

Recreational Slow Pitch
TYSL has traditional Slow Pitch Softball teams in the Nordonia League. Home games are in Twinsburg and away games are nearby in Nordonia and possibly Hudson. This is recreational level softball with pitches having an arc, no stealing, etc. No prior softball experience is necessary and is meant for girls who wish to play softball but do not want competitive fastpitch. Practice starts in April and the season runs from late May through mid-July. Typically there are two games per week in the evening.
AA League: Grades 6-8 (formerly named Division 3 - Girls 6, 7 and 8th grades)
AAA League: Grades 9-12 (High School Rec. Slow Pitch, grade 9-12; Graduating seniors may play)
