Recreational Softball

Registration

There are no registrations currently open. Spring 2025 registration will open in January/February 2025.

Program Details

Our recreational softball program is available for players in grades K-8. Seasons occur in the Spring and Fall, with clinics in the winter and summer. Games are played against other New Fairfield teams as well as towns from the surrounding area. Skill building, broad participation, and enjoyment are the goals of recreational softball.

Ages/Grades

Recreational age group placement will generally be made using Babe Ruth Softball birthday cutoffs (1/1 - 12/31). The corresponding school grades are in parenthesis. Initial placement will be made according to birthdate. Movement between age groups will only be made if registration numbers dictate a need to field teams and will then be based on school grade to keep classmates together.
