American Legion Softball is back to Massachusetts in 2026.
The MA American Legion Softball Fastpitch League is sanctioned by the American Legion, Department of Massachusetts and will mirror that of MA American Legion Baseball. Offering a program for Lady high school softball players will help teams develop during the summer and keep teams together. Recruitment rules are similar to American Legion Baseball which will keep the team's community based and avoid the creation of ‘super teams’ but will still allow for team co-op. If you are interested in forming a team and/or would like updates on the status of this new program, please submit your contact information and we will be in contact as plans progress. Registration will open January 1st
