The spring season begins with practices in March with the older teams practicing twice a week and the 8U teams practicing once a week. The regular season generally begins in April and lasts to May or early June. In all leagues -- 8U 10U, 13U, and 17U -- teams play each Saturday. The older leagues other than 8U also play a game during the week. Each team also has a practice each week during the regular season. The spring season ends with a tournament in each of the older leagues over the course of two weeks in June.

For the fall season, teams play once a week on Saturdays over a seven or eight week period in September and October. Teams practice once a week. For the younger leagues, the fall season is a perfect opportunity for new or inexperienced players to learn the game of softball and for other players to improve their skills. For the older 17U league, play in the the fall is more competitive as teams will largely be made up of players who will play on their junior varsity or varsity high school teams the next spring. For high school players, the fall season is a great chance to maintain or improve their skills.
