Softball Spring

Spring Softball is a representation of our core league values of character and community building through recreational sports. Our league provides a welcoming environment for both experienced players and those new to the game of softball alike. The spring season emphasizes building skills alongside character, embracing competitiveness balanced with sportsmanship, and having fun with old friends while making new ones.

A SPRING SEASON OF FUN INCLUDES:

• Uniform (Jersey and socks)
• 1 or 2 practices on weekdays and one game on Saturdays per week (some divisions may play an additional weeknight game throughout the season) 
• Lighted Fields (Most play is at Stagecoach Community Park) 
• Professional umpires for older divisions
• Jr. Umpire program (including training) for interested LCYO players
• Opening Day Ceremony: Parade, Raffles, Food vendors and more! 
• Team and Individual photo package
• Skills clinics throughout the season
• End of season awards for all 
• End of season recreational tournament with awards for champions & runners-up

Note: (PeeWee (6U) has modified rules which don't require umpires, and will have concluding games ceremonies in lieu of playoff series)

Team Formation

In order to make the spring season an enjoyable experience for all, we strive to create team parity via mandatory player evaluations and a coach driven draft for age groups 8U - 12U. For those age groups, we will do our best to honor a reciprocal friend request between two players while still attempting to maintain competitive balance. 

PeeWee (6 and under) team formation is entirely friend request and school of attendance driven.

Special Note for 14U

We will form 14U Team(s) dependent on interest. A modified schedule may apply. All participants registering for 14U will be pushed to a waitlist, where no payment will be required until we determine if team(s) can be formed. While we hope to form team(s) in this division, there are outside factors (such as, but not limited to): Pitcher and Catcher availability, High school softball team announcements, etc. that can impact our ability to form cohesive teams, so we encourage you to keep your options open.
