What is SK Girls Softball Association?
We are a dedicated girls fastpitch recreation league based in South Kitsap. We were founded in 1985 and are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit
What ages/teams do you have for the league?
We offer teams grouped by ages with a date of birth cut off of 12/31, Your daughter has to be the age of each set division by the cut off date. If their birthday falls after the cut off date, then they will have to play in the next age bracket.
Teams for 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U (based on registration numbers)
When does the season start?
Registration closes at the end of February and teams are formed. Coaches begin outreach for teams and start coordinating practices about mid-March. SK Girls Softball Association is family centered with all league participation scheduled for the weekdays, leaving weekends open. The only exception to this is our season kick off Jamboree and the end of year Tournament.
When does the season end?
The reason wraps up in early June with the year end Tournament. All teams will compete over a weekend at the Sandhill Sports Complex in Belfair, WA for a great year end recap of fun.
Who do we play against?
SK Girls Softball Association is a member of the Kitsap Peninsula Youth Fastpitch Council (KPYFC). We play rec teams from Belfair, Bremerton, Tracyton and Silverdale.
Are you one of the Little League's in South Kitsap?
No, we are the sole girls fastpitch recreation league in South Kitsap. We do not play against Little Leagues in South Kitsap, as they have different age brackets and game rules of play.
Where are practices held?
We practice at Port Orchard locations including middle schools of Cedar, Marcus and Sedgwick and Bill Bloomquist Rotary Park. Times are typically 1-1.5 hours per practice.
Where are games held?
Games will vary depending on the schedule. We will travel to our competition's home fields in Belfair, Tracyton and Silverdale but also host several home in Port Orchard.
What would I need gear wise to play?
A player would need a glove and ideally cleats (no metal) for a successful season. Each team will have bats and batting helmets but many choose to purchase their own. Girls will receive their uniform jersey and matching color socks. Pants and belts are not included so those may be additional purchases.
Any special game rules for ages?
- Age Division 6U will hit off a tee for batting
- Age Division 8U will get 3 pitches from their coach and then hit off a tee
- Age Division 10U will be player pitching until they walk a batter. Then the strike pitch count resumes with coach pitching up to 5 throws
- Age Division 12U+ is full player pitch
