Slow Pitch Softball
The City of Mesa Parks, Recreation and
Commercial Facilities Department runs
softball leagues four times per year: Fall
(begins in August), Winter (begins in
November), Spring (begins in February), and
Summer (begins in May). Each season
consists of Men's, Women's and Co-Rec leagues.
A variety of skill classifications are
available:
- 'B+' (highest skill level of
competition - Advanced)
- 'B' (moderate skill level
competition - Intermediate)
- 'C" (low skill level of competition
- Recreational)
- 'D' (lowest skill level of
competition - Beginner)
All new teams must start in the "B" division,
unless proof is provided that the team is a
lower division team. Any team
starting below the "B" division the first
season with the City of Mesa and wins their
league will be disqualified from tournament
play and league awards. In addition a team
may be dropped from the league without a
refund if the team skill level is higher
than the average skill level for that
division. Please call
our office if your new team is requesting to
start below the "B" division or if you have questions regarding
which league your team should register in.
