“We have a lot of Girls that play in our Tee Ball and Coach Pitch Divisions which go up to age 8, and then we have seen a drop off in participation with Girls when they go up to our Minors and Majors Divisions starting at 9.” New Brick Little League President Steve Gogal said “now with this new program the League will be able to give the girls the same Little League experience the boys get including the chance to raise All Star Tournament Championship Banners.
