Registration Deadlines:

2025 Fall Ball registration will close on August 31st at 11:59pm. 

Spring 2025 registration will close on November 27th at 11:59pm.

Any registration requests after the close date, if approved, will be subject to a late fee.

​​

Late Fees: Late registrations automatically incur a $50 late fee. Late registrations severely impact our ability to project the number of teams, fields and coaches we need for a season, and impact our team selection process. Late registrations will be considered only on a space-available basis, and only if registration and late fees are paid in full.

​​​

Refunds and Cancellations: Requests for both baseball and softball must occur within 5 days from the registration deadline. The amount refunded will equal the registration fee paid, less a $30 refund processing fee. After that cutoff date, PBSF will not issue refunds for the season unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please contact your division commissioner to cancel a registration or to request a refund due such circumstances.

 

Fall Ball : Due to field space limitations, we are not able to offer Fall Ball for our 6U Softball / Shetland Baseball (TK-1st grade) leagues.​​

 

Softball: PBSF is a USA/ASA affiliated fastpitch softball program. We partner with the Oakland Girls Softball League (OGSL) for league play in all 8u, 10u, and 12u-14u divisions.

Note that we initially slot kids in to leagues based on grade, but certain age restrictions may also apply and require a kid to be moved into a different league. The current age cut-off is August 31, thus, the players age on August 31, determines the age group for the following year. Players are generally not allowed to play in a division other than their USA/ASA age division, unless there are compelling reasons to make a change. 

​​

• Play-up and play-down requests will only be considered for exceptional cases and only after all age-eligible players have been assigned and if space is available. 

• Playing up or down one season does not automatically ensure that future play-up requests will be granted and will be subject to subsequent reviews on an annual basis. 

• Division commissioners must approve all play-up/down requests.  

• For 8U, 10U, 12U/14U levels, there is a player evaluation prior to the season start to assess each player's skill level and help to form evenly-balanced teams.  This is not a try-out.  ALL players will be placed on a team.

​​

Baseball: PBSF is a PONY affiliated program. Division age levels are assigned based on grade level in California public schools (age cutoff Sep 1st) and adhered to in most cases; however, PBSF intends to place every interested player on a team where some level of personal success is within reach. When appropriate, the League will advocate for a player’s better placement. The Commissioner will work with the parents in these situations to discuss options.

​​

Player Commitment: PBSF is committed to providing a quality baseball experience for all interested players. Players are expected to attend all practices and games, with the understanding that occasionally, acceptable conflicts do occur. 

​​

If your child plays other sports during the spring baseball/softball season, players are expected to give top priority to baseball/softball. You or your player should notify coaches as far in advance as possible in the advent of absences. Frequent absences/tardiness may affect playing time during games. 

​​

Code of Conduct: Parents, coaches and players are expected to follow the PBSF Code of Conduct.

​

Loaned Jersey Replacement Fees: All Fall Ball baseball jerseys and most Spring season baseball jerseys and upper division softball jerseys are loaned to players for the season.  

A jersey replacement fee of $75 will be charged for any loaned jersey that is not returned immediately after the end of the season.
