Want to take a few more swings before the frost hits the lush outfield grass? Champaign Park District offers fall softball leagues that are sure to meet your needs. All fall leagues are recreational and no awards are given. There is no excuse not to take advantage of this opportunity! At the time of registration, an application and all fees are due. Non-resident fees are built into league fees. No registrations will be accepted without full payment! Completed rosters with names, addresses, phone numbers, and signatures will be due the first day of game..

Player Eligibility:
Players must be 15 years of age by May 1, 2010 to play. Players may only play on one double header team or one women’s team. These leagues must be adjacent in ability. For example, a player may not play on a Tuesday night doubleheader team and a Wednesday night doubleheader league because they are different skill levels. The player can play in Monday single header or a co-rec team. Also, players may only be listed on one roster per league.

Registration Guidelines:
At the time of registration, an application and all fees are due. No registrations will be accepted without full payment! If your team is sponsored, both the manger and your sponsor must complete and sign a sponsor form available on-line or at Bresnan Meeting Center. Both signatures must be on the form for it to be valid. Completed rosters with names, addresses, phone numbers, and signatures will be due the first day of games.
