Get Ready for Spring Softball!
We're looking forward to a fun, safe softball season! Highlights:
- The season is scheduled to run from April 24 through mid June
- Teams typically play and/or practice twice each week (one weeknight and one weekend day)
- Teams are assigned by school for t-ball, 8U, and 10U. Players in older leagues are drafted/assigned to help ensure team parity
The health and safety of our players is our first priority. And, MYS will strictly enforce health & safety guidelines. For more information, please read: MYS Health and Wellness Guidelines.
Leagues by Age
Per USA Softball rules, MYS leagues are based on age. The age qualification is based on the player’s age on January 1, 2021. For example, a player who is 10 on January 1, 2021 will play in the 10U league even if she turns 11 later in the 2021 calendar year.
Age ranges by league:
- T-ball: born between 1/1/15 - 12/31/16
- 8U: born between 1/1/12 - 12/31/14
- 10U: born between 1/1/10 - 12/31/11
- 12U: born between 1/1/08 - 12/31/09
