Youth Softball Traditional Cache

Youth softball

It took me a minute to spot the difference between the baseball and softball fields. The obvious ones is the green around the mound in the baseball field and the softball field is smaller. I’m sure there are many more differences.

As I was unable to find  anything specific about Youth Softball, I found some general information about youth sports of interest.

Youth sport (British English) or youth athletics (American English) is any sports event where competitors are younger than adult age, whether children or adolescents. Youth sport includes school sport at primary and secondary level, as well as sport played outside the education system, whether informally or organized.

In sports studies and public policy contexts, an age limit of 18 (the age of majority) is usual in discussing "youth sport". Many youth sport programs have multiple age levels, for example under-8, under-10, under-12, etc. It is not, however, only underage sport that may be considered as "youth" sport; for example, the existence of the World Rowing U23 Championships recognizes that adults aged 18–22 have not yet reached peak condition.

Sport is one of the most popular activities among youth all over the world.

Sport can contribute significantly to international, national and local efforts to give children a healthy start. Sport can help those who haven’t received a good start, and equip youth with the information, skills, personal and social resources, and support needed to make key life transitions successfully.

According to WinterGreen Research, the size of the U.S. youth sports market has grown 55 percent since 2010 and is a $15.3 billion market in 2017.

This field is too close to other caches to allow for a cache next to it, so this cache is a bit away, but you can see the field from it.

The cache is a standard KET cache: Tied-in, camoed, micro pill bottle with a rolled log with rubber band in a sealed plastic bag. Please be extra careful with this one and make sure you leave it well hidden.
