The registration periods for Alameda Girls Softball Association (AGSA) and Alameda Little League’s 2022 spring recreational leagues are now open.

The AGSA league registration is now extended through Jan. 21 for eight-and-under (8U) and 10U and Jan. 28 for 6U (or until max players reached per division).

The evaluation period for players in the 8U, 10U and 12U/14U divisions will be held the weekend of Jan. 22-23. The 12U/14U division currently has a waitlist. Participants can register to be placed on the waitlist and informed if a spot opens up.

AGSA provides recreational and tournament fastpitch softball programs for girls aged four to 14 with the overall goal of developing sportsmanship, teamwork, friendship and leadership. AGSA is the only youth sports league in Alameda with a primary focus on development of girls in sports. AGSA is affiliated with NorCal USA Softball.

The Alameda Little League registration is currently open for all its divisions. The Alameda Little League consists of five unisex divisions. Tee ball is for kids aged four to five. The Farm Division is for kids aged six to seven. The Competitive Division is for kids aged seven to 11. The Major Division is for kids aged 11 to 12. Lastly, the Intermediate Division is for 13-year-olds.

The Competitive Division consists of three leagues: Single A, Double A and Triple A. Single A is for kids aged seven to nine; Double A is for kids aged eight to 10 and Triple A is for kids aged nine to 11. Single-A is for kids who can hit a ball pitched from the mound area using a pitching machine as the players are not yet ready to throw a 40-foot pitch. Single A is an instructional division.

Double A is for kids who can bat against opposing youth pitchers. Triple A is Alameda Little League’s highest Minor division before moving on to Little League Majors. An evaluation period will be performed to determine which league is best for each player in this division.

Both leagues will begin play in March. To register for AGSA, visit https://tinyurl.com/4dup2n69. To register for Alameda Little League, visit www.alamedalittleleague.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2643054.
