LWAA Spring 2026 Softball (Speedball) Program
Introducing Speedball in Lake Wylie!!!
This fast pace alternative to traditional softball, focuses on development, maximum repetition and having more fun!!
Benefits of Speedball:
You play every inning, No sitting on the bench.
You will play multiple positions every game.
The pace of play is significantly faster, which is more engaging for the kids with less down time.
Play with your friends (see details further below in email)
8-15 At-bats per game per player.
More defensive opportunities every game.
Small practice groups to maximize coaching and repetitions.
Season cost $50.00
Pricing covers fields, team equipment, umpires, and Uniform top.
Speedball in a nutshell:
4-5 players per team.
3 teams play each game, with teams rotating spots in the field and batting.
Teams can score up to 5 runs each inning during their turn at the plate.
Once 5 runs are scored, or 3 outs are obtained, the teams rotate to their next assigned spot.
Assigned spots: Teams rotate from batting, to playing outfield, to playing the infield. Each player gets multiple opportunities at different positions throughout each game.
Games are fast paced with little downtime between innings and rotations. Players get significantly more at bats each game, compared to traditional softball. Players also get significantly more defensive opportunities each game.
Other info:

Spread the word to your friends!!
This is new!!
This is LWAA"s first take at Speedball. We wanted to offer our local girls a unique opportunity to fall in love with softball.
Why are we playing Speedball instead of traditional softball? We recognized that our softball program has sometimes struggled to support a high enough number of teams in each division. Speedball allows us to create an adequate number of teams for each division. It also creates more opportunities for the girls to work on development, in a fun, fast paced environment. If playing traditional softball is what you are looking for, then this may not be for you. But if you are more interested in playing local, playing for fun, and and developing your game by getting more chances to bat and field every game, then give us a try!!
Our guarantee to play
We expect good interest in our Speedball program, but we understand you may feel nervous about missing out on another softball opportunity. If we are unable to field a minimum of 4 teams per division by Feb. 15th., we will provide a full refund (minus $3 processing fee) and allow enough time to look into other softball opportunities. In the meantime, spread the word to your friends so we can bring local softball back to Lake Wylie!!
Important Dates:
Season important dates will be updated once registration closes.
Practice and Game Dates and Times will be determined once registration is closed and coaches are finalized.
Games and practices will be at Oakridge Middle School, River Hills Church, Bethel Baptist, Allison Creek, and Field Day Park.
Thank you for all your support and can't wait to see you on the field!
