Fall Ball/Development Season

Fall Season registration will open on Wednesday, July 15, 2021.  A mandatory skills evaluation will be held on a time and date to be announced.

Fall Ball allows for a range of registration of three birth years for the 14U, 12U & 10U divisions, and four years for 8U division (see chart at bottom of page). CV United does not conduct a 6U division in the fall. Players born before December 31, 2015 will play up in the 8U division.

Experienced players that are the older end of the range for a specific division should be registered to play up in the next older division. This will prepare these players to gain experience needed to compete in that older division during the spring season.  For example, an experienced player with 2010 birth year should be registered to the 12U division.

Players that are brand new to the sport of softball should in most cases be registered in their league age division as governed by birth year. For example, a brand new softball player with a 2008 birth year would ideally be registered to the 10U division in order to gain experience at the appropriate skill level. If a division change is required, the determination will be made after player evaluations.

Division placement for the Fall 2021 Season is determined by the player's age on January 1, 2021.

 

Things to know about Fall Ball

  • CV United Softball conducts three seasons: Spring Recreational, Summer Championship (All-Stars), and Fall Developmental.
  • During the Fall Developmental Season, no scores are kept, no standings exist, and no playoffs take place.
  • Fall Season games are typically played on Sunday afternoons at Scholl Canyon Ball Fields. Because fewer girls play during the fall season we have fewer teams than in spring. In consequence, we typically schedule friendly games against other USA Softball leagues and typically travel locally.
  • Fall Season typically occurs between Labor Day and Thanksgiving (about 10 games)
  • During Fall Season we may schedule a few Saturday night games depending on the need for scheduling.
  • There are fall practices, but due to a limited number of fields sometimes teams have to share fields.
  • During the fall season, uniform shirts are provided. Pants and socks are not included.

 

Recommended Equipment:

  • Cleats, fielders' glove and mask are mandatory.
  • A personal helmet is recommended
  • A personal bat is optional
  • Catchers gear and balls are provided per team.
