for Adult Softball Leagues

Adult Softball League Fee Increase
|
An Adult Softball League fee increase was part of a budget package recently approved by the Phoenix City Council (March 2008). The increase allowed the city to save the adult softball program by recovering more of the costs of operating it.
Beginning with the Fall 2008 season of play, adult softball league fees will be as follows:
- $425.00 for 8 team double round robin league play (14 games) with single elimination end-of-season tournament. This includes a $150.00 total awards package (league and tournament).
- $390.00 for 7 team double round robin league play (12 games) with single elimination end-of-season tournament. This includes a $150.00 total awards package (league and tournament
Even with the increase, fees to participate in Adult Softball in Phoenix are among the lowest in the valley.
If you have any questions regarding the fees or the program, please contact your league coordinator.
