League Competitive Structure

Men’s Slow Pitch
Class D – For the "average Joe" teams with players who can hit, run and throw with some proficiency and appreciate competition, play the game hard but play for enjoyment. These are teams that, overall, don’t have players who are "over-the-fence home run" hitters because there is a one (1) over-the-fence home run rule in our "D" leagues. This is our most popular league classification.

Class C – For the teams who have athletes who have above average talent and can hit, run and throw with a high level of proficiency and play the game to win. These are teams that have 2-3 players who are capable of hitting "over-the-fence home runs." Our "C" leagues have a two (2) over-the-fence home run limit per team.

"Super C" – For the teams who have athletes who have above average talent and can hit, run and throw with a high level of proficiency and play the game to win. These are teams that have several players who are capable of hitting "over-the-fence home runs." This league is designed specifically for the teams that are looking to make a significant move up in competition but do not match up with the teams in the Open League. This league has a two (2) over-the-fence home run limit per team. In terms of regional competition, teams in this league would be classified as Class E in USSSA and Class D in ASA.

"Open" League – The Open League is our top league and one of the best leagues in the State. Designed for the teams with very talented athletes with superior skills.
