Papillion Softball Spring 2025

Welcome to 2025 Papillion Softball:

We are doing something different this year for players that want to play up. The registration will show 2 age groups for your player. The first age group is the age group that is based off of what age your player is on May 1st. It is NOT based off of what grade level your player is. The second age group is if you want to move your player up an age group. If you are playing up, make sure to click on the box that says "Did you move your player up an age group? Age groups are based on what the players age is AS OF May 1st. We do NOT base off of grade level".

This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation, and submit payment. Please read through each page carefully to ensure that all information is provided accurately. To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or checking account information available.

· Coach Pitch: 6–8-year-olds

· Minor/kid Pitch: 8-10-years-olds

2) Game Times:

· Coach Pitch is 1 hour FINISH THE INNING.

4) 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).

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” that player will NOT be allowed to play in this league. Any player registered “Class B” the player can sign up but can NOT play catcher or pitcher. If a player is registered “Class C” the player can play any position.

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.
