5v5v5 Men's Softball - Fall 2025
Are you ready for a new twist on slow-pitch softball? Get 4 friends and form a team for 5v5v5 Softball! 5v5v5 softball is similar to traditional slow-pitch with a few big variations:
1. There are three teams of five players each playing simultaneously.
2. A game consists of three teams competing against each other in a 5-inning game consisting of 45 outs. 5 run cap per inning, with no new inning after 60 minutes.
3. Each team plays defense for two-thirds of an inning (6 outs).
4. An “Infield Team” and an “Outfield Team” play defense, while the “Batting Team” takes their turn at bat.
5. All three teams rotate positions for one cycle (9 outs) to complete one inning.
6. Each team will get equal turns as the batting team each game.
7. Other than the three-team format, normal ASA slow-pitch softball playing rules apply (see full rules here).
Does that sound like fun? Sign your team up today! All teams guaranteed 6 games. Teams provide their own uniforms (t-shirts are ok), and they must be in good taste.
Games will be played on Thursday evenings at Mack Porter Park. Tentative start date: Sept 4
