Overview

The season start and end dates depend on the division of play. Our district will attempt to only schedule games on the days of the week listed for each division, however there may be instances where games will be played on other days of the week due to rain outs or field conflicts. Expect to play 1 to 2 games per week.

Practices usually start one month prior to the season start date and may be indoors. Practices are scheduled at the discretion of the head coach and are usually about 1 hour for T-Ball and Minor B, 1 1/2 hours for Minor A and Majors, 2 hours for Juniors.

Weekday games start at 5:45 PM, Saturday games start at as early as 9 AM.

Once the season starts there may be a practice every other week depending on number of games played.

All Star Tournament

The All Star tournament gives our league the opportunity to enter a team from each division listed below. This team competes against other teams from our district and has the opportunity to play in a state championship for Minor A  and the nationally televised Little League World Series for Majors and above. 

Please note All Star Tournaments divisions are age based. This means a player may qualify for more than one level of play and does not have to play at the same level as they played in the regular season. See our All Star Information page for more details.

More information and exact dates of the tournament will be shared once the season starts.


Evaluations and Uniform Fitting

Evaluations

Evaluations will be conducted for Minor A, Majors and Juniors. Evaluations will be held on the first Sunday in March between Noon and 5 PM, but players will only need to attend the session they are assigned. More information can be found on our Evaluations Page


Uniform Fitting

Players are provided a jersey, pants, socks and a belt for their uniform, these will be distributed to each player by their head coach the week before the season starts. 

Your player has an opportunity to verify the uniform size they ordered is correct, you will just be verifying sizing, not picking up your uniform.

We will have various sizes of pants and jersey samples to try on in order to check the sizing.
   
It is important to attend this event because softball pant cuts are not quite the same as regular pants and do not always fit the same as pants you would buy in the store.  If you cannot make this fitting then the size that you ordered is what will be delivered with your uniform
