Description:

Get Ready for the Game-Changer This Spring!
Forget the traditional 9-player teams—5x5x5 Co-ed Softball is here to bring a new level of excitement and intensity to your game! This unique format features 3 teams competing at once, with a focus on quick action and more opportunities for every player to get involved. The season includes 8 games, each lasting 5 innings or 45 outs (whichever comes first), with no mercy rule, so every team has a chance to play until the final out.

Why Play 5x5x5?

  • Smaller Teams, Bigger Fun:
    Teams only need 5 players to play, making this format ideal for players who may not want to commit to larger rosters. With a maximum roster of 15 players, everyone gets plenty of action.

  • More Opportunities to Hit:
    In traditional softball leagues, at-bats can be limited. Not in 5x5x5—players can expect 6-10 at-bats per game! With smaller teams and more action on the field, everyone gets plenty of chances to swing for the fences.

  • Inclusive and Equal Play:
    Each team must have at least two women on the field every inning, ensuring a co-ed experience that promotes teamwork and equal participation.

  • Meet New People, Play with Others:
    Since three teams play at once, players have the chance to interact with teammates from different teams as they play defense together, creating a more social and dynamic environment.
