Fayetteville Parks and Recreation offers adult slow pitch softball sanctioned through the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) for 3 seasons (Spring, Summer, and Fall). The Spring season will consist of a 5-week regular season with a single elimination tournament, and the Summer and Fall seasons will consist of a 7-week regular season with a single elimination tournament.
Teams play two games on the same night each week. Games are played at both Fayetteville softball complex locations. Teams must provide their own softballs. All men must hit a 12" softball and women must hit an 11" softball, both of which must contain the USSSA stamp. Teams must also use bats with a Bat Performance Factor (BPF) of 1.20 and contain the USSSA stamp.
