Register Now for Fall Ball

It's time to think about Fall Ball again!
  • Fall baseball will be for ages 6-14.
  • This is a fun and instructional season. There are no practices, and we don't keep standings.
  • The 6-8 age group will play coach pitch. The 9-10 age group and the 11-12 age group will play on the East and West small fields. Ages 13-14 will play on the Henwood big field.
  • Please note that if you played as an 8-year old in coach pitch this past Summer, you now move up and play in the 9-10 age group for the Fall. If you played as a 10-year-old in the minors this past Summer, you will move up and play as an 11-year-old for the Fall. If you played as a 12-year-old in the majors this Summer, you will play as a 13-year old on the Henwood big field for the Fall. If you played as a 14-year old in the Juniors this past Summer, you continue to play as a 14-year old on the big field for the Fall.
  • The season will start on Sunday, September 10, with the final games on Sunday, October 16. That's a total of six Sundays of play.
  • All games will be played on Sunday afternoons at 1:00pm and 3:00pm, with some games at 5:00pm only if required by the number of teams.
  • The cost will remain $60 this year and includes a jersey you can keep. This fee helps us cover the costs of umpires, baseballs, etc.
  • Please note: You must live within or go to school within Southern's official boundaries to be eligible to participate in Fall ball. The only exception is if you used to live within the boundaries while playing baseball at Southern, you continue to qualify. If this is too confusing or if you're hoping for an exception, please contact Bob or Ethan.
  • Interested in Fall Softball? If enough people email Wendi Moore (weemoore@comcast.net), then we will organize a fall softball season with Sunday afternoon games at JC West. Please do not sign up yet for softball, but do email her ASAP.
  • You can sign up online here. To help us organize teams, recruit coaches and order shirts, we ask that you please sign up online as soon as possible.
  • The deadline for signing up is Sun-28-Aug.
  • Bob Hams, league director (bhams@roofmelt.com) or Ethan Rohen, league director (erohen@rivercitymech.com)
  • We need coaches! Please contact Ethan if you are interested in coaching. (No full teams will be allowed this year so we can achieve an even competitive balance.)

A Big Thank You from Birmingham

From one of the Birmingham coaches:

"I told some of you but not all - you guys and your crew (umps/grounds/concessions/announcers/t-shirt sales, etc.) did an amazing job. First class in every way.  We do not take it lightly, and we have some idea of how much work and time you all give to this.  You made this a great experience for our kids and families and we cannot thank you enough."

This is what makes Southern so great! Thank you, Southern volunteers, for all your hard work on the 10/11-year-old state tournament!
