Welcome to Oak City Softball League
SPRING REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
We’re excited to announce that our league is now comprised of FOUR divisions: Women’s+, Competitive (for advanced skills), D division (medium-to-approaching-advanced skills), and E division (beginner-to-approaching-medium skills)– registration for Spring 2025 division season is now underway!
Each team in our Competitive, D, and E divisions is planned to play 14 regular season games, and a minimum of 2 games in the season-ending tournament; our Women’s+ Division teams will each play 10 regular season games, and like the Open Division teams, will play a minimum of 2 games in their season-ending tournament (the tournaments for all divisions will be double-elimination format, weather permitting). Registration, which includes our code of conduct agreement and waiver, is now open through February 26th, 2025, which is the last day we will be able to accept new players. Please do note that February 26th is a firm date for registration closure. Our league is intended to provide a welcoming, respectful environment for LGBT+ (and Allied) players and teams; our rules of play are also posted. We’ve worked hard to put together what we think will be a great experience for everyone, and can’t wait til opening day!
OAK CITY SOFTBALL LEAGUE’S COMPETITIVE DIVISION FALL 2024 LEAGUE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Congratulations to Sunday Swingers and Disfunctionalz, Competitive Division teams that battled to the end on November 10th (in both championship and “if” tourney games) to take home 1st and 2nd place (respectively) in our double-elimination league tournament! A pair of 7-inning games were played to determine tourney champs; congratulations also go out to Turn N’ Burn, who were division’s regular season champs with a 12-2 record!
We can’t wait to see all divisions back in the dirt in March 2025 to do it all over again – spring registration will be open in December!

Congratulations go out to our Rec+ “D” Division Pool’s two-weekend double elimination league tourney that capped our Fall 2024 Season: Woofs (1st place, darker blue shirts) and Basic Pitches (2nd place, lighter blue shirts)! Tourney play concluded on a gorgeous fall Sunday (November 10th) – the Woofs also took the division season champ trophy for their 13-1 season. Our Rec+ Division had an awesome season, and we’re looking forward to a spectacular spring season beginning in March!

Our tourney also had Hot Mess Express battling it out with the GOATS to bring home a 2nd place trophy – our other two Women’s+ Division teams (Rainbow Oreos and Where My Pitches At) also put up a fight in a day full of great games – we’re ready to see these teams and players back in the dirt in March 2025!

iPRIDE SOFTBALL/ASANA AND OUR LEAGUE
Spring 2025 will be our fourth season as Raleigh’s only member city organization of iPride Softball, and our sixth season as Raleigh’s exclusive member city affliliation of ASANA – Amateur Sports Alliance of North America. We are so excited about our membership in both organizations, and we are very much looking forward to our third national tournament encompassing both iPride and ASANA players – more information will be coming during the first weeks of our season!
A friendly reminder: Our league is intended to provide a welcoming, respectful environment for LGBTQIA+ (and allied) players and teams; our rules of play and code of conduct are posted on this website to provide the proper expectations to everyone affiliated with our league. Both of these items have been the subject of careful review by our leadership team and we believe they set us apart in a positive way in our quest to create a fun environment for our players — we’ve worked hard to put together what we think will be a great experience for everyone!
We use USA Softball Approved Bats Exclusively
We adhere to the use of USA Softball (formerly ASA) approved bats, exclusively. Bats need to have an ASA or USA Softball stamp, and not be on the USA Softball Non-Approved list (this PDF is dated 10-5-2021) in order to be used in Oak City Softball League games. What this means, other than bats not appearing on the ban list, is that any bats in league play MUST have an ASA/USA Softball stamp regardless of other organizations appearing on a bat (USSSA or NSA bats without an ASA/USA stamp are not allowed). Please see league staff if there are questions and we will clarify for you. If you would like to do further research, the updated list is kept on USA Softball’s website; additional explanation of terms, organizations, and stamps can be found in this blog post.
