Spring Session Overview

Ages: Youth softball divisions are open to girls 7U through 14U, for younger ages please see our training league page.  
Season: March - June (weather depending)
Team Placement: We offer different levels of competition within each age group for 7U divisions and above.
  • Blue - Select (AA)
  • Red - Competitive (A)
  • White- Recreational
  • Fee: $150/Player
We schedule each team to play 12 league games.  Blue level teams will initially be scheduled Monday through Thursday as these teams play tournaments and play less during the weekends.
It is important for coaches to rank their teams before the season begins and evaluate their talent from year to year so Coordinators/Commissioners can place teams in the correct division that will allow for the most appropriate competition.  Each park as well as the STLWest Board of Directors will vet teams to assure fair play.
Note: Teams can change their ranking from year to year as individual teams progress and evolve from season to season.
For all other rules please see the STLWest Rule Book.
New Players: New players are welcome to register and request to join an existing team or our staff will build new teams (provided that there is enough new players). All requests to join an existing team must be approved by the Head Coach. 
Practices: Baseball and Softball teams will be provided a practice field once a week, coaches to set schedules. We will provide instructions to coaches after registration is completed to reserve a field. 
Games: Games are scheduled throughout the week including weeknights and weekends.  Rained out games will be rescheduled if possible.
