Divisions

Beginner Division

The Beginner “Just for Fun” division is ideal for teams just starting out with slo-pitch, those playing casually, or groups with limited softball experience who are mainly interested in enjoying themselves and socializing. It focuses on learning fundamentals, teamwork, and enjoyment in a relaxed, social setting. The emphasis is on fun, skill development, and camaraderie rather than competition, with players aiming for ball contact instead of power hitting. Fielding and base-running skills vary, and errors are common, contributing to a low-stress, friendly environment. 1 home run limit per game.

Recreational Division

The Recreational division provides an excellent opportunity for teams with experience beyond the beginner level who seek friendly matches within a moderately competitive environment. Players should have a good grasp of slo-pitch rules and strategies, with teams made up of both experienced and moderate-level players. While play is somewhat challenging, errors are more common, and hitting is less consistent compared to higher leagues. This division bridges the beginner (formerly ‘E’ Beginner) and intermediate (formerly ‘D’ Intermediate) league divisions, offering a mix of competition and enjoyment. 1 home run limit per game.

Intermediate Division

The Intermediate division is for teams aiming for a higher level of play and is designed for experienced players with a strong knowledge of the game and rules. This division is suited for those who understand strategy and can consistently hit and field the ball. It offers advanced competition, maintains sportsmanship and camaraderie, and enforces a 2 home run limit per game.
