Important Change

The Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department is continuing our partnership with softball organizations from the neighboring communities of but not limited to Somonauk, Plano, & Hinkley Big Rock. We are excited to continue this unique recreational league for grades 1-8 (ages 8U-14U) Please note that travel to neighboring communities will be required for ALL softball leagues with this program. Games will likely begin the weekend of May 4th and conclude the end of June. Please note softball divisions are based off players grade rather than players’ age. The Spring Season will be based off the players CURRENT grade in school. 1st/2nd Grade & 5th/6th Grade Softball Games are Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays. 3rd/4th Grade & 7th/8th Grade Softball Games are Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays & possibly Saturdays. Players are supposed to register with the town that they attend for school.


Note To Players not living within the Yorkville School District

Players outside Yorkville School District boundaries should register with the organization, school, or district in the town or city of residence per the rules and regulations of the travel softball league.

Payments are charged automatically via a credit card provided during the registration process. The first payment will occur at the time of registration. The second and third(final) payments will occur on February 19th and March 11th for softball and T-Ball through 8th Grade Baseball.  Payment plan participants must register during the scheduled registration period in order to be eligible to participate. All payment plans are subject to the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Automatic Payment agreement (for more information go to www.yorkville.il.us/yprautopaymentagreement.
