Adult Softball Leagues

Each team must have a representative attend a mandatory captains’ meeting to be held via Zoom prior to the start of the season. This is the only meeting where rules, schedules, and league policies are reviewed. Teams who choose not to send a representative to the meeting are expected to abide by all polices and rules reviewed at this meeting.

All captains, whether new or returning, must submit to the Northbrook Park District the following items together to be considered for league entry:

1. Complete team registration online.
2. Complete an Adult Softball League Team Roster/Waiver signed by all team members by the fourth published game. Forms will be provided after team registration is received.
