The City of St. Johns summer softball leagues will tentatively begin the week of June 3, 2024. Co-ed on Thursday night. All games will be played at the City Park Main Softball Field.
The first games will begin at 6:15pm and will be scheduled every 60 minutes with the last games beginning play at 9:15pm, depending on the number of teams. The league is a 8-game season ending with a tournament, if weather and time permits. If less than 8 teams register there will be some double headers scheduled for each team. Each team is responsible for paying the umpire $15 before each game. If a team has to forfeit, they are responsible for paying the entire $30 umpire fee.
A team shall consist of at least twelve (12) players on the roster. You must have equal number of females and males in the playing field, so your roster should be similar. Additional players may be listed on the roster, but must register under "Additional Players" for $25 on the registration website.
