CAA Rec Softball program is designed for girls that love to play softball and want to continue to develop in a less-competitive atmosphere. Our season schedule begins in May and ends by July 4th (weather permitting). Copley Softball participates in the Community Softball League (CSL) which competes with teams in West Akron, Highland, Cloverleaf and Revere. Our Junior League may also participate in the Springfield Township Athletic League (STAL) due to opponent availability. Teams can expect to play 12-15 games, followed by a week of playoffs. All teams will be entered into the single elimination playoff.
Our leagues:
Co-Ed T-Ball: Preschool & Kindergarten or 5/6 years old (no playoffs)
Coach Pitch: Grades 1&2 or 7/8 years old (no playoffs)
American League: Grades 3&4 or 9/10 years old
National League: Grades 5&6 or 11/12 years old
Junior League: Grades 7&8 or 13/14 years old
Girls will be provided shirts and socks. Each girl must provide their own pants/shorts, bat, glove, shoes/cleats (no metal), batting helmet with face guard and face mask (now REQUIRED when playing any infield position). CAA has a "give back" program for new or gently used gear. If you have gear to donate or are in need of gear for your athlete, please feel free to inquire about this program. Rec players may NOT request specific coaches or jersey numbers. Jersey numbers are assigned randomly based on shirt size and coaches are assigned a roster based on compatibility and skill level in order to make even and fair teams. We hope you understand these guidelines.
Coaches are all volunteers and may have a different amount of exposure/experience with softball. For more information on the CSL rules, requirements and equipment specifics, you can find a copy of the CSL Rule Book by clicking this link: 2023 csl softball rules
