The cut-off date for our age divisions is December 31st. See our Registration Page for league determination date.
In certain instances, players are allowed to play up a division other than their true age. This is on a case by case basis, and an email needs to be sent to softball@380sports.org for a request to move up.
380 Sports Baseball does not allow players to "play down" in the next younger age division. Special needs players are the only exception and must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the 380 Youth Sports board. Players that are allowed to play down in age will be ineligible for tournament play. Players are assigned to an age division based on their age as of May 1st.
Siblings in the same age division will always be on the same team unless the family specifically requests separate teams.
In Blastball & 4U/5U Tball divisions request to be on the same team with a classmate, friend, neighbor or cousin will be honored if requested on the registration form.
All other age divisions are drafted leagues. No requests will be taken.
We recommend each player to have their own glove, bat, batting helmet, cleats and an equipment bag. Batting helmets are required to have a face mask. If a child does not have their own batting helmet the league can provide the coach with a batting helmet for team use.
To determine the correct LENGTH of the bat, have your player stand with the bat next to his/her side barrel down and rest the bat on the ground the top of the bat should rest just below the hip
To determine the correct WEIGHT of the bat, have your player - hold the bat straight out from his/her side OR straight out in front (which ever is more comfortable) if the barrel tips down then it is too heavy if he/she can hold the bat straight out for 10 seconds - then you've found the right bat!
This information is provided only as a guide. Results for your player may vary based on their personal preference, ability, and physical maturity.

Refund requests must be in writing and received prior to the close of registration. A processing fee will be assessed for each approved refund processed. NO REFUNDS will be issued after teams are formed.
We accept registration of players living in the cities/towns surrounding the highway 380 corridor. If you have questions about your town please contact us at softball@380sports.org.
When you register your child there is a question asking if you would like to be a Coach, Assistant Coach or Team Manager. Registering as a Coach, Assistant Coach or Team Manager does not guarantee you will get a team; that decision is made by the Baseball committee prior to Player Evaluations. If you decide after registration that you would like to coach, email softball@380sports.org to register.
Home games will be at the Little Elm Cottonwood fields. Away games may be held at Highland Village, Lake Cities/Corinth, Lewisville, The Colony, or Krum.
Teams typically practice 1-2 times per week. Practice schedules depend on number of teams in the age division, field availability and the coach's schedule.
380 Sports Baseball teams are approved to practice at the Savannah softball field, Braswell High, Navo Middle, Providence Elementary, and Savannah Elementary. These locations are scheduled through the league during the pre-season practice schedule and in-season practice schedule.
Teams typically play 1-2 games per week depending on the age division. Games could be scheduled on any weeknight and/or Saturday. Weeknight games start as early as 6:00 PM. Saturday games start anytime between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
Schedules are completed after teams are created. While this is a time consuming process, we try to have them done as soon as possible. We try to get them posted on our league website (2) weeks prior to the opening day.
As soon as we are notified by the city that fields are closed due to rain, inclement weather or unusable/unsafe field conditions we will update the RAIN OUT LINE which will send text and email notification automatically to all members that sign up for the Rainout line service.
Coaches are to email, text or call their team with information concerning rainout/rescheduled games, events and practices.
We try our best to reschedule as many rainout games as possible. Our ability to reschedule games depends on how many games need to be rescheduled, field availability and time remaining in the season.
