Spring Softball
Our Softball Program is open to all players ages 4-17. We offer a primarily recreational softball environment for player, with the addition of an “Advanced League” for players and teams looking for a more competitive structure and competitive rules-based League.
Everyone is welcome whether you are new to the sport or if you have played before and would like to further develop your softball skills.
ASA Softball offers a Spring season with registration beginning in January and the season running February through May. We also offer a Fall season with registration beginning in July and the season running early September through mid-November.
The divisions are by date of birth with leagues broken down into a 6-and-under modified t-ball league, an 8-and-under coach pitch league, a 10-and-under fast pitch league, a 12-and-under fast pitch league and a 16-and-under fast pitch league.
Advanced League, a combination of our previous “Competitive” offering for 8U, 10U and 12U age divisions, allowing high-experience recreational, as well as competitive level teams to participate in dedicated league play. Games will be played at Allen Station Softball Park, on designated league nights. This league is intended for pre-formed teams only, and ASA Softball will not offer a draft or assistance placing players on rosters in this league. The ASA Softball Board will evaluate new and returning teams to determine proper league placement.
Criteria for evaluation will include the following:
-
Team, Coach, and Player registration with Select/Competitive/Tournament governing associations (e.g. USSSA, USA Softball, etc.)
-
Number of select players on a team
-
No more than 40% of a recreational team can be comprised of select players
-
-
Number of select pitchers and/or catchers on a team
-

New for Spring 2025!
ASA Softball is pleased to announce the new officiating partnership with United Sports Officials (USO)!
This aligns us with our ASA Baseball program, which has used USO umpires to officiate for many years. While we are looking forward to seeing the fruits of this new partnership, we would still encourage our coaches and fans to inform their League Directors of any issues or concerns as it relates to officiating before, during, or after any game or other ASA-sanctioned event. Feedback regarding umpire performance (Positive or Negative) may also be submitted within this form**.
