PROUD PARTICIPATING ASSOCIATIONS
Involvement in any league or level of play is directed by player registrations received, at the  LOCAL Association, for your area.
REGISTRATION is the key to making teams.
CSL will attempt to make alternate arrangements to accommodate individuals/groups of players from CSL
areas that report not enough registrations for a team. 
Registered players will have their interests addressed subject to CSL policies.

 RULE #1:  Obey the rules.
RULE #2:  Rules are NOT made to be broken.
RULE #3:  Rules don't only apply to those who choose to follow them.

Rules and policies are made to establish an even and fair playing field for all of our participants.  They keep those "circumstances" from becoming an "advantage" for some and a disadvantage for others.

The Community Softball League is intended for players with an interest in a house league recreational experience as an enjoyable learning and development experience for all of its participants, at every division and skill level.

Teams are determined according to registrations within each local member association (Spring deadline).  Every effort is made to accommodate players throughout the league, to provide full participation.

A full season schedule, including mid-season tournament, and playoffs provides the opportunity to learn, develop and compete as a team player in a challenging fastball environment.  Some outside opportunities may exist for further fastball experiences and play (at the coaches' discretion) but it is intended that each team and player commits to the CSL program, NOT in conjunction with OR in preparation for other competitions.
Pitching Style
In Fastball (aka Fast Pitch) Softball, the ball is pitched with an underhand motion in a straight or flat line, to the catcher.  Fastball pitchers use a pitching style where the pitcher’s arm comes from behind the body and drives forward, at hip level, for release.  Rules allow for use of the 'windmill’ pitching style, as an option, characterized by a backwards circular motion above the head, completing the circle back down at the hip and forward to release.  Pitchers may also use a style where the pitcher's arm completes only the bottom half or three-quarters of the windmill motion; this pitching style is often used for arms not developd for throwing a full windmill pitch.  (more about "The Game" see FAQs)

See you in the Spring!

PLAYERS, register EARLY to have a team.


Somewhere, behind the athlete she has become,
and hours of practice,
is a little girl who picked up a ball,
fell in love with the game,
and never looked back.

Thanks to all of those who come out to be a part of supporting the players.
It takes the Community...

WE WANT TO PLAY!!
For the LOVE of OUR GAME
What matters...
It isn't about the score or the standings
The SMILES are what count.

We're having a ball.

COACHES,
the impact of the experiences
and memories these players take away,
from the opportunities you give them,
will last a life time.
 Looking forward to great fun and sportsmanship, again, in 2019.
