Emerald Necklace Fastpitch Softball Registration

Emerald Necklace is a community based organization established for the purpose of teaching and developing fastpitch softball skills, experience and enjoyment of the game. Player development is directed toward high school participation and beyond. League-specific rules and National Federation of High School Athletic fastpitch softball rules (approved by the Ohio High School Athletic Association) are applied to league play in this association.

Participation is mostly limited to teams in Cuyahoga County. Teams are organized within age-specific divisions: 10 & under, 12 & under, 14 & under, 18 & under Junior Varsity and 18 & under Varsity. Age requirements are determined by a player's age as of January 1 of each playing season.

The playing season begins in May for younger players in divisions 10 & under and 12 & under. Older players begin their playing schedules at the completion of the high school season - this includes 14 & under and 18 & under teams. All league play and league tournaments are completed by July 25.
