Spring Registration Form
Playing Up
Playing Up or Down Division Softball players may request to play up or down a division; however, all requests are subject to league approval and based on player safety, skill level, and roster availability. Playing Up: If your player is requesting to play up, you should register based on their USA Softball age group and pay that registration fee. Players requesting to move up must participate in evaluations for both their current age group and the higher division. This allows coaches from both divisions to evaluate the player—ensuring that if the player is not selected for the higher division, they can still be placed appropriately in their original age group. If your player is selected to play in the higher division, you will then be responsible for paying the difference in registration fees, if any, between the two divisions.
Playing Down
Playing Down: Requests to play down a division will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by the league. Approval is generally based on safety considerations or experience level. Players approved to play down will participate in the lower division evaluations only and will remain in that division for the season. Registration should still be completed under the player’s USA Softball age group, with adjustments made by the league once placement is confirmed. 💵 Divisions & Fees Division placement is based on the player’s age as of September 1, 2026. The following breakdown provides general guidance on age placement, with flexibility based on skill level and developmental needs.

*Buyback
Your regular season registration fee includes a $75 volunteer buyback fee. Families who complete one 2.5-hour snack shack shift will receive a reimbursement or credit for this amount at the end of the season. Families awarded a financial scholarship are not eligible for the buyback option.
Scholarship Assistance
We want every player to have the opportunity to join our league, and financial assistance is available to help make that possible! Families interested in support can apply online by completing our Scholarship Request Form.
A Few Things to Know:
-
Applications are reviewed individually, and we do our best to support every family in need.
-
Families receiving financial assistance are asked to contribute through additional volunteer opportunities—this helps keep our league strong and connected.
-
Early applications are encouraged, as assistance is limited and granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
We’re excited to welcome every player to our league and appreciate all the ways families help make our community great!
🧢 Volunteer Coaches & Certification Requirements
SGSL is powered by volunteers, and we are always in need of Head Coaches and Co-Head Coaches. If you’re interested in helping lead a team, please complete the Coach/Manager application on our registration site.
To ensure a safe and positive experience for all athletes, all volunteers who will have contact with players must be certified. Required training includes:
-
ACE Certification through USA Softball (which includes a background check)
-
Concussion Protocol Training to recognize and respond to head injuries
-
SafeSport Training (also known as Safe Space), which focuses on abuse prevention, athlete protection, and creating a respectful team environment
These online courses typically take 1–2 hours in total and are mandatory for all coaches, assistants, and team administrators working directly with players.
🤝 Family Volunteer Expectations
SGSL is a volunteer-run league, and every family is required to help support their child’s team throughout the season. Responsibilities may include preparing fields before home games, keeping score, and assisting with team coordination. Coaches and team parents will communicate specific assignments and expectations. These team responsibilities are separate from the snack shack shift associated with the $75 buyback fee. Thank you for doing your part to provide a positive experience for every player.
If you’re ready to play, learn, and grow on the field this fall, we can’t wait to see you out there!
Team Administrator Needed
Each team will need a Team Administrator (Team Admin/Manager) to serve as the main liaison for communication and volunteers. The Team Admin will:
- Coordinate team communication (TeamSnap, email, etc.)
- Organize volunteers for roles below
- Arrange the end-of-season party
