Senior division is designed for girls with prior experience playing softball at a more refined level. This division will consist of ages 11 (who are in the middle school) and ages 12 thru 14. The game is played on a 60-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 40 feet. This is a player-pitch only division and a twelve-inch ball is used. Players in this division continue building and refining their fundamental skills, defining set positions, and applying game strategies.

Travel division is for middle school girls ages 11&12 years (12U) and 13 & 14 years (14U) with previous experience participating on an official rules tournament team or currently participating on the Firebirds Town travel team.
