| | | Registration is open for Needham Baseball and Softball Fall Softball program. Fall Softball places teams into two local travel leagues - Charles River League and Metrowest League. If you register by August 1st, you are eligible to receive a free Needham Softball hooded sweatshirt.
In addition, all registered fall players are eligible for an end of summer softball clinic to get ready for the fall season. The softball clinic will be held from Monday, August 27 through Thursday, Aug 30 from 9:00am to 12:00pm.
The Charles River League is a more competitive league that plays doubleheaders Sunday mornings throughout the fall. This team is made up of the players selected from on-field evaluations and coaches feedback in their age group who are seeking a more competitive environment. Games begin in mid-September and run through the end of October and are played against teams from other towns in the local area (Newton, West Roxbury, Dedham, Wellesley, etc.). Practices will be scheduled at the coach’s discretion.
The Metrowest League plays single games on Saturday afternoons (10U and 12U) and Sunday afternoons (14U) and consists of players who are looking for a more recreational environment or players who are new to the sport. The league consists of teams from Holliston, Medway, Medfield, Franklin, Dover, etc. Practices will be scheduled at the coach’s discretion.
If enough players register, we may have more than one team at each level. There are no cuts for Fall softball and girls who register will be placed on a team.
