Junior Softball

At Carine Cats Softball, we believe sport should be more than just a game; it should be fun, inclusive, and the foundation for friendships that last a lifetime. Our Junior program offers a supportive and energetic environment where children of all ages and abilities can build skills, grow in confidence, and feel part of something bigger.

We welcome both boys and girls from 9 years old to 16 years old to be part of our Junior teams, which compete in the Perth Softball League (PSL) summer competition and winter competition. Whether your child is transitioning from Teeball, giving softball a go for the first time, or already has a few seasons under their belt, our club offers a place for everyone to thrive.

Our focus is on development; not just as players, but as people. With a strong emphasis on learning and enjoyment, our coaches work closely with each child to build their skills, game awareness, and love for the sport. From understanding the rules and refining throwing and batting techniques, to learning how to work as a team and support each other on and off the field, softball teaches valuable lessons that go far beyond the diamond.

Junior training takes place in the afternoon after school either at Birralee Reserve or Carine Open Space, with games held at Mirrabooka Softball Complex.

During the summer season:

12U Machine Pitch (mixed team) play their games on Thursday's from 5pm with games lasting approximately 60 minutes.
Under 14s (mixed team) typically play on Friday evenings at 5pm for 1.25 hours.
Under 16s (girls only) games are usually scheduled for Saturday mornings at either 9am or 10:30am and run for 90 minutes.

During the winter season, all junior games are played on Sundays across the metropolitan area.

All games and training sessions with Carine Softball are designed to be engaging, with plenty of movement, encouragement and fun, while also ensuring players are prepared and confident on game day.

We understand that joining a new sport can feel like a big step, so we aim to make things as easy as possible. The club provides team playing shirts and bats, and we’re happy to help new families with guidance on any additional gear their child might need, such as gloves or pants. We also welcome newcomers to attend a training session before signing up, giving them a chance to meet the team and see what we’re all about.

Most importantly, our Junior program is about connection with the friendships our children and young adults make at softball, some of the strongest and longest-lasting. There’s something special about the way team sport brings people together, and at Carine Cats Softball, we’re proud to create a space where young players feel supported, included, and inspired.

Whether your child is looking for a fun new activity, a chance to be part of a team, or a sport they can grow with for years to come, we’d love to welcome you to Carine Cats Softball.
