Due to continued hiring challenges being faced by contracted officials organizations, schools and Parks and Recreation, league maximum capacities will continue to be impacted. Due to these reduced capacities, leagues have been filling prior to registration end dates. If your desired division is filled, please contact Sports Management at (757) 385-0458 to be added to a waiting list or if you have any additional questions. Register early for the best opportunity to play.
This league is recreational with no playoffs. A 1+1 home run limit is used (i.e. a team cannot hit its second home run until the opposing team has hit one).
Divisions offered: Men's Tuesday or Thursday, coed Monday or Friday. When necessary, games may need to be rescheduled on alternate nights of play.
Maximum number of teams per division is 16 with a 14-16 game guarantee.
Registration is taken on a team basis.
Team entry fee of $525 is due at time of registration.
No Virginia Beach residency requirement.
Players must be at least 18 years old or be a high school graduate. Players under 18 years of age who are high school graduates or graduating high school seniors must provide written parental consent. Players under 18 years of age can only be added by submitting an adult softball add/release form with written parental consent attached.
Leagues are subject to close-out prior to the last day of signups. If you see “Only # spaces left. Register now!” under the “add to cart” link and/or “adding a team failed because it would exceed the maximum allowed” when creating your team, the activity is full. Please consider another option or contact the Sports Management Office to get on the waiting list.
