    There is talk of a 17u high school elite league for the fall. There will be 2 divisions.
    There will be an "A" division for all those great high school teams.

    There will be an "B" division for all those great travel teams.

    But you can always try to play in the upper division.

    There would be something similar in the 14u age group.

    There will be an "A" division for all those great travel teams.

    There will be an "B" division for all recreational teams.

    We will also have rec. league play for 12u, 10u, 8u....

    Is there any interest????

    By the way this is in the Greater Charlotte Area.....Teams can travel...

    Ladies 17U Fall League

    This rumor appears to be true ...and it is what I think an excellent alternative for the High School and Tournament players.

    A lot of girls that love to play softball are starting to get very busy at this age (17U) and cannot spend all day Saturday and Sunday participating in tournaments. Not to mention the expense!

    My understanding is this new league will offer a fifteen game season (one weekend game and one week night game)in the fall with minimal expense comparable to the cost to play in a rec league.

    I heard they are wanting skilled leveled participation from Charlotte area high school players and tournament players.

    SOUNDS GREAT...lets hope it is true!

    this fall starting in August is what I have heard. When I find out more info I'll get it posted.
    I'm very excited about it ...my daughter is a High School varisty player and the thought of no weekend long tournaments and yet she still gets competitive play is outstanding!

    This is a great opportunity for all players

    The way we are planning...we would allow whole teams like (High School, Middle School, Travel Teams) to stay together and compete that way. Also if you are just an individuals wanting to play you would go in a draft. This is a great way to get ready to play high school ball and not have to travel all over for the competition...

    Their's not another league like this and i think it would be great!!!!

    we will welcome groups and teams from any where!!!

    Gastonia we would love to have you!!!! please spread the word!!!

    Fall Ball Info

    FYI...I don't think an entire High School team can stay together during this type of "Off Season" competition as "Linedrive" said. That will have to be checked out at this point. Although, I'm sure we wil have no problem putting together A level teams.

    This "Elite" team play, as "Linedrive" calls it, is going to be headed up through an already existing league of associations with hopes of drawing in teams from other associations as well as possibly schools or other sponsored teams. It will not be AAU or NSA sanctioned ball. The rules will follow NC High School Federation Rules. This will be "A" level softball. All players will have to be of High School Varsity level play or tournament players for 17U which will be called the "Seniors" age group. High School Junior Varisty level play or tournament players for 15U which will be called "Juniors". And, middle school level players or tournament players 13U will be called "Bantams". I'll have more info soon...
