The softball Fall Ball season typically runs from early September through the end of October, with a
commitment of 1-2 days a week depending on level. Fall Ball play is more relaxed than the regular
season and provides an excellent opportunity for players to build skills and learn more about softball in
a less competitive environment. It helps players prepare for the next spring season and have fun.
The location of games will be determined by which fields are available to us, as traditional fall sports like
soccer take field priority (in fact, many players play other sports in addition to fall ball).  Fall ball games
are played against teams in other leagues throughout the area. 

Levels: The levels for fall ball are determined by league age. We ask that you register your player based
on the age/level they will be playing for the Spring 2026 season (see Age Determination section
below). If your player’s age overlaps across two levels, choose the lower level if it’s their first time
playing. These are the levels we hope* to have teams for this year:

 6-8 years will be A (register for this level if your player will be in A in Spring 2026) 
 8-10 years will be AA (register for this level if your player will be in AA in Spring 2026) 
 10-11 years will be AAA (register for this level if your player will be in AAA Spring 2026)
 11-12 years will be Majors (register for this level if your player will be in Majors Spring 2026)
 13-14 years will be Juniors (register for this level if your player will be in Juniors in Spring 2026)

*Whether we can field teams at these levels will depend on registration numbers.

Age Determination: Age determination is based on the league age the player will be for next spring’s
season (in other words, for Fall ball 2025 a player's age is the age they will be on 12/31/25). You can
view Little League’s 2025 softball age chart here (to determine 2026 age, add 1 year to the 2025 age
chart calculation).

Cost: The 2025 cost for Fall Ball is $130, including jersey. Please re-use visors from last year. Players without a visor from last year may purchase one for $18 during registration.  Scholarships are available. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Practices: Fall ball typically doesn't have practice due to limited field availability. However, we will try to
obtain practice fields; practices will be optional at the lower levels, while Majors and Juniors level teams
will be prioritized for practice once a week. Unfortunately due to the involvement of multiple leagues and restrictions in Fall Ball, we will not be able to accommodate scheduling restrictions during the Fall.

Registration Dates: Registration will open in mid-July through August 15 (or when full).

  • Season Dates: September 2-October 31
  •  
  • Team Determination: The Fall Ball coordinators will create teams taking into consideration:
    Player age
    Level of experience
    Registration numbers 

    The goal is to build teams that are similar in skill and experience, and when possible, accommodating
    requests for coaches, teammates, etc. Team formation is dependent on registration numbers and how
    teams can best be formed.
