Whitpain Fall Softball
Community softball program for grades 1 through 9
About the Program
Whitpain’s Fall Softball Program provides a low-pressure environment where players ages 6 to 14 can continue building their skills and enjoying the game throughout the autumn months, with one practice and one weekend exhibition game each week from September through October. All divisions participate in league play through the BuxMont Fall Recreational League, which includes teams from across Eastern Montgomery County.
All games occur on Saturdays at Schweiker Park in Hatfield, a 20-minute ride from Whitpain Township. 14U game locations are still to be announced.
It’s a great way for players to sharpen their fundamentals and have fun with teammates in a supportive setting. For more information, contact committee chair A.J. Russo.
Fall Softball Divisions
Each season, players are placed in divisions based on their "softball age," a standard set by USA Softball and USSSA Softball, the governing bodies of softball in the United States. A player’s softball age reflects her age as of September 1 of the current softball year, which runs from September 1 through August 31 of the following year.
USA Softball provides a tool for those in need of extra assistance. Simply CLICK HERE, select "2026 Season," and input your daughter's age.
This rule, amended in 2025 with an August 2025 launch date, previously used January 1 to determine age. All softball programs across the country will be adopting this rule change. As a result, players with birthdays between September and December may now be grouped differently than in past seasons.
Our online registration system, powered by TeamSnap, will automatically match your player with the proper division. For Fall, these divisions include:
- BuxMont League 7U+8U Division for girls born 9/1/2016 through 8/31/2019
- BuxMont League 10U Division for girls born 9/1/2014 through 8/31/2016
- BuxMont League 12U Division for girls born 9/1/2012 through 8/31/2014
- BuxMont League 14U Division for girls born 9/1/2010 through 8/31/2012
