For the 2025 season, we have added a few new teams, developed 2 NEW teams from our waiting list, teams have moved up and some teams have moved down in age. Its just another year in POPS Softball!
We recently learned that we will not have Oceanside HS this year as they are putting turf in at the end of the school year. No worrries- we have field permits at other fields to compensate. But due to losing O'Side, we were not able to get as many new teams and players in as we would have hoped. We will add them in 2026.
