Registration

2024 Fall Softball

The league will provide a jersey for each player. We will order all uniforms based on the information collected on this registration form rather than the coaches asking for you to provide this, so please make sure you get the right sizes listed for your child. Coaches will coordinate on league-provided socks as well.

Each player will be responsible for their own helmets, gloves, bats, and pants. Defensive fielder face masks are strongly recommended and required for some positions. Your coach will notify you of the desired color of pants.

6U - Born between 1/1/2017 and 12/31/2018

Per the current LHYA draft rules, returning players will be placed on their previous coach's team ONLY if the coach is also returning to the same level of play as last season. If a coach OR player is moving up a division, any of their players will be re-drafted. If you are interested in coaching, please complete the volunteer portion of this application and notify us at [email protected]. Please be advised that no player requests for a specific coach will be honored.
