BRHLL has a fun and competitive Softball Program for girls ages 7 to 16, with competitive all-star tournaments after the regular season and league tournaments. For softball, the age of your player is her age as of Dec 31 of the previous year. Age calculator here!
Pre-season practices begin in early March. Games begin in April, with the regular season ending the last week in May or the first week in June. Depending on the division, BRHLL conducts a tournament during the first few weeks of June for our recreational teams.
Teams will play 12-14 games against other teams in our league and, at the Majors level, play several other games in the District 7 President's Cup against recreational teams from other leagues in the District.
