For players

Slow pitch or fast pitch: pick the softball league you want to be in.

Which one a league plays is on its page before you enter, along with the innings, the roster limits and the mercy rule you will be playing under.

Finding one

Read the pitch style before you read the schedule.

A slow pitch rec league and a fast pitch league are different sports wearing one name, and turning up to the wrong one is a wasted season. Every league states which it runs, so the league page tells you which game you are turning up to and then worry about the night.

Getting in

Enter as a team, or as a body somebody needs.

Whole rosters enter together and split the cost however they like. With no team of your own, say so — most rec softball leagues are short a fielder somewhere, and those are the captains doing the asking.

Before you turn up

What the softball you enter has already settled.

Every one of these is decided by the organizer before entries open rather than argued about in week three, and whatever they have settled is on the event page under “What is set” — so you read the rules before you enter, not at the field on the first night.

Umpires are not ours. Rules calls, ejections and anything that happens between the lines belong to the league and the official standing in it, and there is nothing here that overrides either.

Common Questions

How do I know if a league is my level?
Pitch style and the mercy rule tell you more about the standard than a label would, and both are on the event page under What is set, which between them tell you more about the standard than a label like "rec" or "competitive" does. If it is still unclear, the organizer is the person to ask, and their contact is on the page.
Do I need my own bat?
That is the league's rule rather than ours, and bat restrictions are the league’s own rule rather than a field we hold, so the league’s rules are where they are stated — and the organizer’s contact is on the page if they are not.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Browsing is open to anyone — leagues, clubs, tournaments and races are all readable without signing in. You only need an account to register for something, because a registration has to belong to somebody.
How does paying work?
Registering and paying are one step, by card. Where the event asks for a waiver you sign it in the same checkout rather than printing it and carrying it to the field. The money goes to the organizer running the event rather than sitting with us until the season ends.
What if I do not have a team?
Races, tournaments and open days take you exactly as you are — one entry, one person. A league season is entered by a team, so instead of registering alone you list yourself as available to play and the teams that are a body short come and find you. Nothing is paid until one of them takes you on.
What happens if it is already full?
For a race, a tournament or an open day, a waitlist place confirms itself the moment somebody drops out. A league season queues by team instead, and the side that comes off the queue gets a window to settle the entry before the spot moves on. Where the field is capped by permit, entry may run as a draw with a claim window instead.
Something went wrong with my registration. Who do I ask?
The organizer first. They run the event, they can see your registration and they are the one who can change or refund it. If you cannot reach them, we will help — but they are faster, because it is their event.
What do I keep afterwards?
One profile carrying every registration, result and standing, across every sport you play here. A season of kickball and a spring half marathon sit in the same place rather than across two organizers and a timing company.
