programs

PAYS offers softball in the spring, summer and fall. The programs we offer are tailored to best fit the abilities, interests and ages of our players and may vary from one season and year to the next. That said, spring is generally considered the recreational season, summer the competitive season and fall is a great opportunity for continuing development. 


One thing that doesn’t vary is our approach – we are firmly committed to providing a positive, constructive, fun and developmentally appropriate environment where all kids can develop both as individuals and teammates.

Spring

Recreational Season
  • All skill levels welcome!
  • The Spring Season goes from late February to mid May
  • Ages 6U-14U, with the number of teams dependent on player and coach availability.
  • The majority of spring season games are held on Saturdays (morning or midday) with some Friday evenings.

Summer

Competitive Season
  • For players seeking a higher level of play!
  • The Summer Season goes from  mid May to late July.
  • We aim to form competitive teams for summer tournament play at the 8U, 10U, and 12U levels. 
  • These teams are formed based on tryouts, and this is a joint team with our MVLAGS (Mountain View Los Altos Girls Softball) partner organization. 
  • We may also form summer camp(s) for the 6U-8U age range – stay tuned for updates!

FALL

Continuing Development
  • All skill levels welcome!
  • The Fall Season goes from early September to mid November
  • The emphasis at all levels is on skill development, team play and having fun.
  • We typically field 1-2 teams at the 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, and sometimes 14U levels, depending on registration and coach availability.
  • Games are typically on Sundays, potentially with practices during the week
