FALL 2024 Recreational Softball Program
Registration opened at 10:00AM on June 12. Last day for the early bird savings is June 26.
The Brentwood Ball Club provides an opportunity for youth players to have a place to play organized softball in the city of Brentwood. As the service provider of baseball for the City of Brentwood, 75% of our 12YO & Younger players must reside in the city of Brentwood, while 60% of our 13YO & Older players must reside in the city of
Brentwood. 85% of our players must reside in Williamson County across all ages. While players residing outside the city of Brentwood are welcomed, they will have to pay non-resident fees to participate in our fall season.
Age Divisions We Offer
1. The division to register your player for is based on their age on September 1, 2024.
2. Our divisions are as follows: 5/6YOs, 7/8YOs, 9/10YOs, 11/13YOs.
Format of the Age Divisions
We follow the rules as determined by the Williamson County Park & Rec (WCPR) Department. This is necessary because most if not all of our age divisions will not have enough teams in each division to only play Brentwood vs Brentwood or Brentwood head coaches want to play teams outside of Brentwood.
- For 5/6YO, a coach will pitch to batters from ~27’
- For 7/8YO, a coach will pitch to batters from 35’
- For 9/10YO, this is kid pitch play with a mound at 35' feet
- For 11/13YO, this is kid pitch play with a mound at 40' feet
