Fallball is an ECSA Open Division slow-pitch softball league for men and women of all skill levels. Teams are typically a random draw of available players with a few exceptions to allow people to play with friends. All players are placed on a team regardless of skill level. Higher rated players from the regular league (A/B divisions) are spread evenly amongst the teams to promote mentoring, as are those players that have a special ability like pitching. This is purely a fun and social league; therefore there are no trophies or World Series Berths. However, some 'fun' awards are given at the end of the season such as "Most spirited team" as well as individual MVP awards. The Fall league is typically made up of about 1/3 players from the Open and Women's Divisions, 1/3 new players, and 1/3 that only play Fallball.
Fallball is traditionally a pick-up league where short-handed teams can borrow from other teams. However, it is recommended that if you can't commit to playing the majority of games, then please don't commit out of fairness to your future teammates.
There will be informal post-game socials at area businesses after the games. There will also be an end-of-season party.
Registration is done through a PayPal form on the league website or in person at the regular season awards party on August 1 at 88 Keys. There are other ways to register as well and you can contact the Fallball coordinator for more information.
