Fall Ball registration is now open. With the fall season being extended due to the shortened summer season, the registration deadline is July 31st. Additional information and registration details can be found at the link below.
The Fall 2020 season has been extended by two weeks. It will begin in early August and run until the end of September. For 2020, players have the option to play at the same age level or play at the level they will "age up" to for next summer. Summer 2021 will be based on a player's age on 12/31/2020.
The teams will play six double headers on weekends (Saturday for 10U and Sunday for 12U) and a fall State Tournament. There are no formal tryouts for fall ball. Coaches evaluations, pre-season evaluations, and a joint practice are considered for team placement.

Sandlot Softball-8U
Sandlot softball was a program for players born in 2011-2013 It is designed to be a relaxed environment for our younger players to focus on developing fundamental skills of throwing, catching, fielding, hitting, and base running. Each evening will conclude with a controlled scrimmage or other fun activity. The goal is to help bridge the developmental gap between Coach Pitch/Tee Ball and the 8U level without the pressure of competing in games.
The program will run on Sunday nights from 6-7:30 at the Hopkins High School fields (located behind Tanglen Elementary) on August 16th, August 23rd, September 6th, and September 13th.
14U Options
Second year 12U players (2007 birthdays) have the option to play 12U again this fall. If they are looking for a 14U option, we have opportunities available through Plymouth Wayzata Youth Softball Association or Eden Prairie Fastpitch Association. If you want additional information on these opportunities, please contact Dan Dohse at [email protected].

We realize this is a quick turnaround from summer to fall. Thank you in advance for your timely registration, and we look forward to seeing you at the fields soon. As always, reach out with any questions.
