Q: What ages can play in the South Jeffco Softball Program?
A: SJSA provides recreational and competitive softball for players between 4-18 years old (eligible if turn 19 on or after January 1st of the current year). We offer recreational T-ball 4-6 year olds and Coach Pitch for 7 year olds.  Modified Kid pitch is played at 8 years old. The recreational option continues for ages 9-18. Leagues are formed for 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U; with teams playing at different division levels. The divisions are evaluated each year to balance the level of play across the division. The recreational leagues only play on week nights, with the exception of one league tournament played on a weekend in July. Some recreational teams participate in weekend tournaments outside of the GSLJC. 
 
The competitive option offered through the Colorado Diamonds has 10 yrs and under, 12 yrs and under, 14 yrs and under, and 16 yrs and 18 yrs. and under teams. These teams are set up individually and each team holds it’s own tryouts to determine their rosters. Some competitive teams have league play during the week, and also play in tournaments on the weekends. The number of tournaments depends on the level of play and the coaches schedule.
 
Q: When is registration and how do I register?
A: The registration period for recreational softball is beginning of December  – mid March. You may register online at www.southjeffsoftball.org.
