Team Formation:

There are no player evaluations conducted for the Fall Ball season in 10u, 12u & 14u. The Division Director and Fall Ball Team Managers will form teams in both schedules. The Double Header teams are traditionally formed from previous All-Star teams that have ended their season in July and have advanced skills players. 

 

What is the appropriate division for my player in the Fall?

Divisions for Fall 2021 are based on the player's year of birth as shown below which translates into the Division they will play in during the Spring Season.  Essentially, Fall is a short session to expose the girls to the division they will play in the Spring Season.

• If your player is moving up a division in the Spring due to her age (age as of January 1st) and you wish to have her play in her current division for Fall (example = second year 8u player that wants to play 8u again in the Fall but due to her age nine on January 1, 2021 she will be in 10u for the spring season) , please contact the Division Director to make the request.  Division Director contact information is available on the Softball tab page at the bottom.
