The Big Apple Softball League offers a place for players of all skill levels to play softball in a friendly and fun environment. The league is currently divided into open divisions and women's divisions, with varying levels of skill and competitive attitude.
This division is for women players who prefer a looser, more recreational game. Usually, any new women's teams formed at the start of each season are placed in the Women's Rec division. As teams become more competitive, there is opportunity for them to move up to the Women's Competitive division.
This division is for women who are highly experienced softball players and prefer a competitive style of play.
