Facebook Instagram Youtube Tiktok

BASIC SOFTBALL INFORMATION:
FwF is an adult, coed league and anyone 18+ can play! We have two separate leagues.

  • Sunday SUMMER softball – registration is OPEN!
     Games take place beginning on June 23, 2024 – typically 11AM or later.
    West Hills/John Bynon Park, which is located across the street from West Hills Elementary school off of Sheffield Dr.
    Sunday is our true social league. If you have never played softball/baseball before, we encourage trying Sunday first.
  • Monday TBD (8 teams MAX) games take place beginning on TBD 2024 – typically 6:30PM or later.
    Monday is slightly more competitive, as we do allow everyone to use composite bats and some of the rules will vary from Sunday. Due to this, a safety net (provided by the league) or a safety mask (player provided) is required for the pitcher.
  • Register prior to 1 week before games begin to save $10 (details below).
  • Games last roughly an hour.
  • We will work with your schedules! Just send us your request prior to the schedule releasing.
  • Sarah Roe is the Sunday commissioner. Gray Taylor is the Monday commissioner.
    ***See further below for more rules/details

For Sunday league, we will work around kickball schedules the best we can, in case you wish to play both leagues.
However, there may be the rare schedule conflict.
