What size ball do Recreation Softball teams use?

The size and type of ball varies by division (grade of the players):

T-Ball / Coach Pitch Division – 11” safety ball
Rookie Division – 11” safety ball
Junior Division – 11” ball
Senior Division – 12” ball

Note, "safety" balls are softer than normal softballs and are used in the younger divisions in order to reduce the risk of injury.
