Manager’s Deadlines for Spring 2025

TEAM REGISTRATION DUE 02/19/2025
Please get your players registered and paid by the registration deadline of 02/19/2025. Any player not registered and paid by that date will not be eligible for Week 1 games. They may be eligible for future weeks, depending upon when their registration and payment are received.

ROSTERS DUE 02/12/2025
Rosters are due 02/12/2025. By this deadline, the roster you submit should include a minimum of 10 players. Failure to submit this roster will result in a $50 fee. We understand that you may still be adding players between 02/12 and 02/19. The Open Division Commissioner and Women’s Division Commissioner will coordinate how to handle any additions. These additions will not incur a fee IF you submitted a 10-person roster by 02/12/2025 AND you have notified us prior to 02/19/2025. Feel free to reach out to commissioner@softballaustin.org with questions prior to the deadline.

Step 2

Add Players to Your Team

Rosters do not carry over from previous seasons. You must add or invite players to join your roster. From your team dashboard, you can “Send Invites” by entering the email addresses of players you want to join your team. They will receive an email with a link to register and complete the process.

Notes

  • If you need players, email membership@softballaustin.org to see if a pool is available.
  • Managers are responsible for ensuring all players have registered, paid the fee, and signed the waiver before the deadline.
  • If a player can’t pay online, assist them using a team credit card. No checks accepted.

Step 3

Pay Team Fee
