Recreational SOFTBALL

Westfield Youth Sports offers four recreational softball leagues in the spring (8U, 10U, 12U, 18U).

All leagues will focus on teaching the players the fundamentals of the sport. Previous experience is not required, however Westfield Youth Sports will conduct player evaluations for 8U, 10U and 12U in an attempt to keep teams evenly matched. Games will be played primarily against other Westfield Youth Sports teams with some travel built-in within Hamilton County for county-league games.

*Ages based on player's age on Sept 1, 2025 (for 2026 season)

 Please note: Instructional League (Coed) for 5 and 6-year-olds is offered through Baseball.
