ERAA In House Softball is part of the Southeast Metro Softball League (SEML), in coordination with teams from Woodbury, Cottage Grove, and St. Paul Park. 

New for 2024

SEML updated age levels for 2024 to align with the updated Minnesota Softball age levels. Please review the new age levels below. 

Due to the age level updates, SEML also added a new “Pitchball 1” division for Kindergarteners who have already played a year of t-ball and first graders. This division is one step up from t-ball and will use the manual pitching sling and play one game per week.

The “Pitchball 2” division will be for 2nd and 3rd grade players, who will continue to use the manual pitching sling but play two games per week. This aligns with the 8U age level and pitching method used in travel leagues. 

Players will start with kid pitch in 4th and 5th grade in the “PeeWees” division. This aligns with the 10U age level and when players start pitching in travel leagues.

Registration available for the following levels based on current grade:

Tee-Ball (Pre-K and K) For all Pre-K players and Kindergarten players new to softball. Practices one day a week, Games Thursdays. Games end with a tournament end of June. Players hit off a tee and may elect to have coach pitch later in the season.

Pitchball 1 (grades K & 1) For Kindergarteners with a year of t-ball experience and first graders. Games Thursdays, Practices one day a week. Players hit off a manual pitching sling.

Pitchball 2 (grades 2 & 3) Practices one day a week, Games Mondays and Wednesdays. Players hit off a manual pitching sling.

Pee Wee (grades 4 & 5) Games Tuesdays and Thursdays, Practices one day a week. Kid pitch. Umpires provided.

*Rookies (grades 6 & 7) Games Mondays and Wednesdays, Practices one day a week. Kid pitch. Umpires provided.

*Minors (grades 8 & 9) Games Tuesdays and Thursdays, Practices one day a week. Kid pitch. Umpires provided.

*Majors (grades 10-12) Games Mondays and Wednesdays, Practices one day a week. Kid pitch. Umpires provided.

*SEML has had a decline in participation numbers for Rookies, Minors, and Majors. We will monitor registrations. If we are unable to form a league due to low numbers of teams, we may offer an option to combine players from our Cottage Grove, East Ridge, St. Paul Park, and Woodbury associations to form a hybrid C-level travel team that would play in the Tri-County league. Our goal is to find a way for these girls to be able to play softball.
