Lake Norman Little League offers recreational softball divisions of play for girls, league ages 6-16. The age determination date for softball is the actual age of a child on December 31 of the previous year. League age ranges are typical for these divisions to keep participants playing age appropriate ball. Age ranges often overlap, allowing players who need a little more time to develop to play down in a division, or play up in a division if they are ready to advance and if approved by the league board. All softball players are required to attend a skills evaluation, after which a final determination is made in regards to division placement.

Minor League Softball divisions are established to offer girls an introduction to fastpitch softball. The goal of the Minor League is to prepare players for eventual selection to a Majors Division team.
