Here's some basic info on each division in the softball program. All ages are listed as Little League International league age. For softball, league age is determined by the player's age on December 31, 2023. League Age Calculator

SLL will attempt to field teams in every division. If not enough players register for a specific division, SLL will work with the player's family to place the player on an appropriately leveled team enabling the player to be comfortable, have fun and learn. For the 2024 season SLL is prioritizing growth and development of the softball program and are encouraging any interested families to register early and bring their friends! We will definitely need more coaches and umpire volunteers to make this happen, please consider volunteering! Even if you are potentially considering but not sure if you can, please register to help so that you can be included and receive information on coaches training and/or umpire trainings as we aim to have more of those earlier in the process this year.
