New to the 2026 Season:

ONLY Papillion Softball teams will play in our in-house tournament and play in the All-Star game going forward. For the seniors age group, it’s invitation only to play in our tournament and maybe All-Star game. Our board feels it’s in the best interest of our organization to keep our tournament in-house due to the many issues that we have had in the past with outside organizations. We will still play with outside organizations during regular season games, but those games will not count towards the end of the season tournament seeding.

Extra Information before you sign up:

If you are playing up, make sure to click on the box that says, "Did you move your player up an age group?" The ONLY way to move a player up in the system is by the director manually changing the age group in the system so please do not forget to click that box in the registrations. Also make sure you are paying the "fee" to move your player up. It's NOT an extra fee; it's the fee that it would cost to play in that age group.

ONLY 8-year old's and 13-year old's will have 2 options to pick from in the registrations. We get that some 8-year old's have never played softball/T-Ball before, so we wanted to give them the opportunity to play down if they're not ready for kid pitch. We get that some 13-year old's do not want to play with 17- and 18-year old's.

We do allow requests of what coach, player and/or team your player wants to be on, at all age levels. However, we do NOT guarantee your request will be honored. Especially after February 21, 2026.

There are no refunds after March 8, 2026.

1) Game Times:

· Coach Pitch is 1 hour FINISH THE INNING.

· Minors, Juniors and Seniors, Game time limit is now 75 min/finish the inning.

2) Metal cleats ARE ALLOWED for the Seniors group ONLY.

3) Head Coaches ONLY. Once you turn in your equipment at the end of the season (everything has been turned in and you are a coach in good standings) you will receive a FULL refund of 1 registration (per team). Its hard work being a head coach, so we want to reward you. You most certainly can split 1 registration with your assistant coach if you like (50/50 split).

4) USSSA Softball is an organization that registers players in “Select Softball” to play in tournaments. It’s a higher level of play. If a player is registered “Class A and B” that player will NOT be allowed to play in this league. Any player registered “Class C” the player can sign up but can NOT play catcher or pitcher.

AGE GUIDELINES

The above age groups are a guideline. A player can always play 'up' in an older age group. For example, a player who turns 12 years old on August 31 may play in the Seniors group if a parent/guardian believes the Seniors age group is better suited for her skills.

Exceptions to these rules are allowed if the spirit of good competition and the pursuit of fun are the primary concern.

Mission Statement

The Papillion Softball League is a true competitive recreational league for girls to learn the fundamentals of the game of softball and to HAVE FUN doing it. We believe that our greatest contribution is in teaching young ladies the values of competition, to make a commitment, to work hard, to strive for excellence, to sacrifice to make their team better, and to be the best they can be as a person and as an athlete. We believe that our job is to develop the total person, not just the athlete. We are dedicated to the quality fundamentals and the development of our youth softball athletes. Our players learn to respect the game of softball and all who are involved in it. We believe in sportsmanship striving to always win but win with honor and more importantly when we lose, we lose with dignity.

HISTORY OF THE PAPILLION SOFTBALL LEAGUE:

The Papillion Softball League started in 1979 and was founded by Bruce McCoy, with four elementary schools in central Omaha and covered the 3-4 & 5-6 grades. Additional schools were added year by year. In 1983 the league expanded to include 7-8 grade teams. It now had eight elementary schools and three junior high schools that fielded teams. In 1988, it expanded to include grades 9-12.

At its peak, there were 45 teams in the league, divided across the four divisions. During the first five years, special rules were adopted to include all players batting in one rotating lineup and other rules that enabled girls to get more enjoyment out of playing.

In 2007/2008, the Papillion Softball League worked with the youth softball commissioner for the Omaha area and an agreement was reached to include Bellevue teams, Papillion teams, and Springfield teams. In subsequent years, LaVista, Gretna, Fort Calhoun, and Boys Town have had teams in the Papillion Softball League

In 2017, there were teams from the Saints League which include teams from Saint Thomas Moore, Saint Bernadette, Saint Columbkille, Saint Peter & Paul, and Our Lady of Lourdes.

In addition to the Saints League teams, there are also teams from Papillion, LaVista, Westgate Westside Association, Napoli and Boys Town.

In 2019, the League changed names from the Rainbow League to the Papillion Softball League.
