SPRING 2025 SOFTBALL REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!  

The Vestavia Hills Girls Softball Association is proud to offer a recreational softball in an enjoyable, learning environment for girls in the 6U, 8U, 10U and 12U age divisions. See below for more information related to the 2025 Spring Softball season.

Key Spring 2025 Dates

 • January 19: Registration Closes

 • January 25: Player Evaluations

 • Week of February 3: Practices begins

 • March 1-2: Opening Day 

GAMES

 Teams typically play two (2) games per week on Thursday and Sunday. Some games could occur on other days in the case of makeup games, games held outside of our park, or league playoffs. For those selected to play All-Stars, practices will begin in May and games will be played throughout the month of June. 

PRACTICES

Prior to the start of the season, teams typically practice two (2) times per week. Those practices may occur on a weeknight or on the weekend. Once the season begins, teams typically practice only once per week. 

LOCATIONS 

Most games and practices will be played at the Liberty Park Sports Complex. Other locations for practices and games could include Cahaba Heights, and Pizitz Middle School. Older age groups (10U and 12U) will travel locally to compete against teams from other leagues in the area. 

EQUIPMENT

 The league provides a jersey, socks, and belt for each 8U-12U player. 6U players wear shorts and will not receive a belt. Each player is responsible for providing her own bat, glove, cleats, pants, face mask, and batting helmet with face guard. 

COACHES

 Any parent who is interested in serving as a head coach or assistant coach should indicate his or her interest on the registration form. Those individuals who are selected to be a head coach will be contacted by the league prior to evaluations. 

AGE DIVISIONS

Our age divisions are not based on the school grade of your player. USA Softball recently changed its divisions, so age divisions are now based on the age your player is on September 1, 2024. Age divisions for this year are as follows: • 6U (September 2017 – August 2019) • 8U (September 2015 – August 2017) • 10U (September 2013 – August 2015) • 12U (September 2011 – August 2013) 

 All registrants should register their player in the correct age group. Email VHGSoftball@gmail.com with any specific requests following the submission of your registration. The VHGSA board of directors will make final decisions on all age division change requests prior to the player drafts, and parents / guardians will be contacted.
