Softball Program Overview
BSSC softball leagues offer organized, adult recreational play across Greater Boston, bringing together teams and individuals for competitive, well-run seasons in a fun, social league environment. Outdoor games are played at quality fields throughout the region, including popular locations like Brighton, Cambridge, and Medford-area fields. We also offer indoor softball in Danvers to keep you playing throughout the winter months.
Outdoor game formats and league rules:
- All leagues now play 7 innings or 70 minutes.
- Our coed leagues have the option of an 11″ ball for women, helping to even the playing field and eliminating the need for a “courtesy belt.”
- All leagues utilize a strike mat + home plate strike format and a 1:1 count each at bat to help speed up play.
- All BSSC leagues now play on a single night, allowing you to better plan your schedule and easily play in multiple leagues.
BSSC’s coed and men’s formats are built to keep games moving and make sure everyone on the field has a great experience. In longer coed games, small rule and equipment adjustments help balance offensive opportunities across the lineup, leading to more action, closer games, and better at-bats for everyone. From consistent scheduling to streamlined gameplay, we focus on the details so you can spend more time playing and less time waiting around. That attention to detail is what makes BSSC softball one of the most enjoyable adult leagues to play in across Greater Boston.

Frequently Asked Questions
BSSC offers all levels of competition. For most sports, multiple levels are available within the same league. Advanced to low intermediate divisions are often specified for popular leagues like Soccer, Softball, Football, and Volleyball. Speak with the BSSC program manager about your sport for help finding the best match for your skills and experience.
If you are part of a full team, the captain who registered the team will receive all the league info to forward to his/her teammates. If you signed up as an individual, you’ll be emailed the time and place of your first game about a week prior to the start date. When you arrive at the game, check in with the BSSC representative, and they will give you a team shirt and point the way to your teammates. After that, the schedule & standings will be posted on the specific page for your sport on BSSC.com and updated periodically. You can also always find your personal schedule on your dashboard page once it’s posted.
BSSC provides game balls and basics to play each sport (bases, hoops, nets, cones, and more). Softball bats, sticks (hockey and lacrosse), appropriate protective gear (shin guards, mouth guards, eye goggles, and goalie gear) and basic first aid supplies (bandaids, sports tape, ice packs) are each player’s responsibility. Check your sport rules for more specifics.
Probably, but we don’t actually coordinate how things work within your team. Once you meet everyone at the first game, you can work it out amongst yourselves. Indie teams are friendly and welcoming. Please let the BSSC sports manager know if you’d like to help out by being team captain, or can play goalie or pitcher!
All BSSC leagues and clinics are first-come/first-serve. Teams in existing leagues are given until one month prior to commit to returning to play the next session before we accept new teams. Some leagues sell out 5-6 weeks in advance, so we recommend that teams and individuals register as soon as you know you can play. On the other hand, there might be space as late as the league’s start date, so give us a call.
