Juniors Softball is NESLL’s final softball division.  As compared to Majors:

- Registration CLOSES Feb. 2nd  
- Practices will start March 2nd
- Games will start March 23rd
- Players are older (13-14 years old)
- Roster is limited to (14) players
- Games are longer (seven innings as opposed to six in Majors)
- There is no intra-league play and, thus, no standings and no assessments or draft.  
- Junior teams play games against other District 8 Little League teams.

NESLL has adopted a formal process for players (age 12) that wish to play up in the Junior division.  In 2024, NESLL will have one Junior level softball team with a maximum of (14) roster spots.  All registered 13 and 14 year-old players must be placed on the Junior roster.  All 12 year-old players will be placed on a Majors roster.  If we have remaining roster spots on the Junior team, the Junior coaches will “call-up” Majors roster players to fill the Junior roster on a game-by-game basis.  In order to be “call-up” eligible, each player must be on a Majors roster.
