ALABASTER – Registration is now open for the 2025 season of spring adult softball in the city of Alabaster.

From now until March 31, residents can sign up in person or online for the city’s spring adult softball program. Those wishing to register in person may do so at the Alabaster Parks and Recreation Office at 200 Depot St., Alabaster, AL 35007.

Registration fees are $285 per team and the forfeit bond is $100. The umpire fee is $25 per game and must be paid to the umpire in cash before each game. No registration is accepted by the city without payment in full.

The city will only accept the first eight paid teams in each league with no exceptions. Once that limit is reached, the registration for the league will immediately close. According to Alabaster Parks and Recreation, team numbers will dictate if leagues have to be merged. Rosters may consist of up to 20 players.

The spring program features the following leagues:

Each team will play at least 12 regular season games and an end of season tournament.

The spring season will begin the week of April 21.
