About Our Leagues & Sign Up Details
SPRING SOFTBALL LEAGUES STARTING APRIL 9th, 2025 (Co-ed & Men’s League, 4 Weeks)
Experience the thrill of softball like never before with our cutting-edge HitTrax system, the only one of its kind in New Brunswick. Here’s how our virtual games bring the action to life:
Virtual Gameplay: Games are played virtually, with the gaming module accurately calling balls and strikes, and determines hits or outs based on the exit velocity and launch angle of each ball off the bat.
Real-Time Visualization: Every hit’s trajectory is projected onto a TV screen behind the cage, showing the baserunners and the result of each at-bat in real-time.
Slowpitch Pitching Rules: Each team will pitch to the opposing team, with the HitTrax simulator providing the strike zone. All pitches must be thrown under 25 mph. If a pitch exceeds 25 mph, the batter can choose to accept the result or add 2 balls to the count.
Game Rules: Counts will start at 1 ball and 1 strike, ensuring fast-paced action and more opportunities at the plate.
Team Structure: Each team consists of 4 players (with up to 2 substitutes per team), making it the perfect mix of strategy and skill.
Cost: $15 per player ($60 team total) per week.
Weekly Prizes: Every week a top hitter for both Men’s and Co-Ed divisions is awarded a prize, either through Launchpad Sports, or one of our fantastic local partners.
Food/Beverages: Launchpad Sports proudly pours the best local beer in town, to help fuel your performance! Non-alcoholic options as well as chips/snacks available as well.
Schedule: Co-Ed division on Wednesdays, Men’s Division on Thursdays.
NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE STARTING April 9th and 10th
Baseball Pitching Rules: Each team will use the pitching machine and pitch to their own team. Games will be 5 innings, with the first 3 innings being different pitches - i.e. 1) LHP Fastball 2) LHP Curveball 3) LHP Changeup 4) Opponent Chooses 5) Team Choice.
Game Rules: Teams can locate the pitch wherever they want in the zone but cannot adjust wheels. There is a max of 4 pitches per at bat. Ensuring fast-paced action and more opportunities at the plate.
Special Rule: Teams can choose to bring a 5th player and have him pinch-hit at any point in the match.
Field Dimensions: Home team selects the field, with all fields having a CF distance very close to our very own Royals Field.
