Youth Softball - Spring 2026

Step up to the plate and join the fun in our recreational softball league for girls of all skill levels! Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, this league is the perfect place to sharpen your skills, make friends, and enjoy the thrill of softball. Smithville Parks and Recreation teams up with Kearney and Platte City Parks and Recreation to create an amazing league experience with exciting games and opportunities to grow. Each player will receive a jersey, visor, and a medal at the end of the season to celebrate their hard work. Parents, please provide a glove and consider a helmet (recommended but not required).

Fee:
 $75 ($25 late fee if registered after the deadline)

Games: Each team is guaranteed 6 games. Games are only held Mondays-Thursdays at 6:00PM and 7:45PM. Games will begin the week of April 27. Some travel to Kearney and Platte City will be involved. We will not know what division will play what day, until we know how many teams we will have in the entire league. No games will be made up or played after June 25.

Practices: One practice per week will be held on Saturdays. Practices begin the week of April 6.

Volunteer Coaching:The recreation sports programs are dependent upon volunteer coaches. If you would like to coach, please click the "Volunteer" tab below! The teams' practice schedules are chosen by the volunteer coach around their schedule. If you would like to guarantee a particular practice day/time for your child, you are welcome to volunteer coach!

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Who do I can contact for questions?: You can email Alex Hulet at AHULET@smithvillemo.org
  • What are the age requirements?: Youth softball goes by the child's current age, not by grade. Your child may move up one division but not down.
  • Can I request a buddy?: Only ONE buddy request per child will be accepted. Buddy requests must be mutual from both families to be accepted, no exceptions. This policy is in place to protect all participants and families.
  • Can I request a specific coach?: Coach requests can be made at the time of registration. Please type the coach's last name in the coach request box. Coach requests are honored as first priority requests, if a coach receives too many requests, (over the max roster number) the coach will decide on roster spots.
  • Can I request a practice time?: We do not accept requests for practice schedule preference. Practice schedules are set by the coach after rosters are finalized. If you would like to guarantee a particular practice day or time for your child, we recommend volunteer coaching.
  • When are games and practices?: Youth softball games are held on weeknights and games are held on Saturdays. Schedules will be finalized about a month after the registration deadline.
  • Team Request Reminder: All requests must be submitted at the time of registration to be considered. Requests will not be accepted after the registration deadline* If your request is on the registration form, we will see it - promise!
