PIXIE (6U - 8U) RULES

Within USA Softball, only two states have officially been sanctioned for "Pixie" Division softball. Texas and California are the two states currently sanctioned to play Pixie Division, or softball for players ages 5 - 8. There are two Pixie Divisions, the 6U and 8U divisions for girls who are ready to learn the game of softball before their ninth birthday.

The Pixie Division adheres to rules somewhat different from the established, older divisions. These rules are designed to teach young players a fundamental understanding of softball in a fun environment.
