The season will open Sunday, April 18, 2021 with games played at Southeast Metro Park in Del Valle, with an End-of-Season Tournament on Sunday, June 13, 2021.

The Board of Softball Austin posted the following announcement on Facebook:

Softball Austin Members,

We continue to hope that this letter finds you and you family safe and healthy.

Since our last communication, we have seen Austin-Travis County drop into Stage 3 and more people are getting vaccinated each day. These are great signs and we’ve received communication from Travis County Parks that they will begin taking reservations soon for Southeast Metro Park. The Board met this week and voted to accelerate our Spring 2021 Season schedule to begin April 18th. We understand an acceleration creates a tight timeline for teams to form and register, but the Board wanted to take advantage of fields to play softball while we have the opportunity.

Additionally, the Board voted to set the Team Registration at $350 per team and the Player Registration Fee at $50 per player for the Spring 2021 Season. The league will be providing safety equipment and will provide all players and managers with out COVID protocols prior to the start of the season. Below is our planned timeline:
