2025 Spring House League Softball


***UPDATE: We just expanded our Sprites division to allow for a couple more teams! But some divisions (Ponytail and Sprites especially) are filling up quickly so don't wait too long to register.

Welcome to the Spring 2025 House League! Our House League program is specifically designed for instruction and inclusion. The program accepts Kindergarten-8th grade girls regardless of their experience, ability, or residency. Having fun while participating in low-pressure fast-pitch softball instruction is the priority of the program.

This program is made up of four different divisions based on the school grade of the players:
  • Sprites: K & 1st graders (coach pitch with tee backup, 10" soft ball, 10 players per team)
  • Ponytail: 2nd & 3rd graders (player pitch with coach backup, 11" soft ball, 12-13 players per team)
  • Minors: 4th & 5th graders (all player pitch, 11" hard ball, 12-13 players per team)
  • Majors: 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (all player pitch, 12" standard ball, 11-13 players per team)
For our 2025 Season, NGSA is excited to add the Sprites division for the first time!

Our 2025 spring season starts in early April. The season ends around the time Northbrook school districts let out for summer. The season typically includes 8 to 10 regular season games and one practice per week, per team, followed by a single elimination playoff and "World Series" for the Majors, Minors, and Ponytail divisions (for Sprites, the schedule is one game and one practice per week, with no postseason).

Registration Fees for Spring 2025:
  • SPRITES: $150 for Northbrook residents, $175 non-residents
  • ALL OTHERS: $270 for Northbrook residents, $295 non-residents
Your fees include those regular season games (fields and umpires), full uniforms (jersey, pants, belt, socks), and team equipment (catching gear, balls, practice equipment, etc.). For Ponytail, Minors, and Majors, it also includes playoff and World Series games, and an All Star Game, and a one-time issue batting helmet for each player (Sprites will have team helmets).

The overall deadline to register is 2/22, or earlier if any given division fills up before then (which sometimes happens).

*Note: If a division fills up, you can still register onto the Wait List. You will not be charged at that time; only if/when your player is added to the league.

Additionally, we offer instructional House clinics in March to help girls improve their skills before the season starts. Please be on the lookout for future emails and website updates regarding these March clinics, including dates, times, and fees.

TEAM, COACH OR FRIENDSHIP REQUESTS:
Team / Coach requests can be specified on the registration form by putting the coach's name in the appropriate field, if your player has a team or coach they would like to play with. Alternatively, if they have a friend request, just fill in that field. Please note that these requests are filled on a best effort basis and are not guaranteed.

VOLUNTEERING TO COACH OR HELP OUT:
Our House League teams are coached by parent volunteers, and the league could not be as successful as it is without them. When you register your child for the league, you will be given the opportunity to volunteer as a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Team Parent (helper), if you would like to do so. We provide a free pre-season clinic for coaches, as well as a pre-season briefing and any assistance they may need throughout the season.

FEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
As a community-based program, we recognize that some families may require fee assistance in order for their daughter to participate in softball. The NGSA Board of Directors never want financial hardship to get in the way of a girl experiencing the great team sport of softball! If you require additional support, please fill out the Google form and our House League Director(s) will respond to you as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the House League Director at [email protected].
