Belleville Parks & Recreation Department, in conjunction with the Illinois Amateur Softball Association (ASA) will be organizing girl’s fast-pitch softball leagues for 2016. The league games will be played at LadermanPark on 1105 Mascoutah Avenue and SouthsidePark 6th and Cleveland St.
LEAGUES - There will be ASAleagues for (10 –and under-8 teams12-and under-12 teams, 14-and under-13 teams,
*16-and under13 teams, and 18 and under teams13 teams).* New this year -The 16 & 18 divisions will be combined just like the fall high school plus premiere select league – with this exception an individuals who plays college ball but fall into the 18-U age group can still play. We will divide the teams up Gold and Silver or A & B a majority of your games will be in your division and then some game outside of the division. The thought is the girls have played or will play high school ball.So to keep the games more competitive we have decided to combine the 16 & 18 U.
Your team will still register under the proper age group for the ASA purpose of sanctioning. 14 U teams who wish to play up can do so with the understanding you will play a majority of 16-U teams and a few 18-U teams – however this is not any different if your 14U team had all 8th graders who just graduated. This year’s 8th graders are eligible for the 2015 Fall ASA League. Teams and players get better is play better competition.
It is our intent to organize leagues that are the very competitive for the participating teams. We encourage teams to play in the age group which best fits the girl’s skill level. The High School Select Premiere League - all the coaches will meet to place teams in divisions and make up a double header schedule. The DH schedule your team will not play the same team back to back if at all possible.
SCHEDULE- All league games will be at LadermanPark and SouthsideParkMonday through Thursday; all teams will play a 12 game schedule. The following describes the tentative beginning dates and nights for each league.
