What are the pitching dimensions for each age group. Obviously I know that 60 feet 6 inches is for about age 15 and up. What are the others? I am looking for wherehouse space for an indoor facility and want to have a mound that will allow for all ages to pitch.. Thanks in advance.
It depends on what association the kids are playing for. Here are some of them.
Little League (ages 9-12), 46 ft. (60-ft. bases) Pony League (ages 9-10), 44 ft. (60-ft. bases) Pony League (ages 11-12), 48 ft. (70 ft. bases) Pony League (ages 13-14), 54 ft (80 ft. bases) USSSA (ages 11-12), I believe 50 ft. (70 ft. bases) Super Series (ages 11-12), I believe 50 ft. (70 ft. bases)
Having coached kids in a lot of these leagues, I don't find that they'll really recognize 2 ft. either way, especially in a bullpen. Where you see the extra 2 ft. is in a game when the hitters are able to catch up a little more often.

Justbaseball did a good job listing the various dimensions but in the 14s the trend lately seems to be towards the 60'6' distance although many still use the 54ft.
