Greetings Cincy! Our Draft League registration has been underway for several days now, and we’ve heard from players around the region who want to play but are unable to do so until school lets out. Rather than having a league that straddles that timeline, we’ve decided to delay the start of the League until May 30.
But that doesn’t mean you have to wait until then to play softball. We also have heard from new players who would like to have practice before the league starts, so we will be introducing League Joe Open Play on May 16 and the Official League Joe Draft Party & Open Play on May 23!

How Open Play Works
Our Open Play is a free* add-on week where players are welcome to come out in a casual, friendly environment. Depending on the number of participants, we will either break up into pick-up games or we will use the fields for basic hitting and fielding drills to get everyone warmed up. If you are uncertain about committing to the full season of play, or new to softball/haven’t played in a while, join us for Open Play and get a sense of the league (and your own skill level) before the draft!
The League Joe Draft Party
On May 23, we will bring our coaches together to draft the teams LIVE in front of any players who want to come out. Come enjoy a social beverage or two and wait to hear your name called and placed up on the draft board! Once the draft is over, we will break into groups and get a practice game on the field for anyone in attendance.
We are aiming to have six to eight teams for the start of play on May 30. If you know anyone interested in playing, please share with them our new start date and get them signed up!
* There is no League Joe fee for Open Play. Gate fee may apply. Concessions available on site for purchase.
