About the USPL

The Unionville Slo-Pitch League (USPL) was founded in 1974 as a recreational men’s softball league for players of all skill levels. Today, the USPL comprises three divisions that cater to the diverse needs of players.

 

The Open Division is our most competitive division, with 16 teams competing for promotion and relegation based on their regular season performance. This division is for players aged 21 and above, and there is no upper age limit.

Our Open 40+ Division is designed for players aged 40 and above who wish to continue playing at a highly competitive level with players closer to their age group. The division consists of six teams that play at a higher level.

Lastly, our Masters Division is a more recreational slo-pitch league for players aged 40 and above. It consists of six teams that play games in a more relaxed environment.

 

The 2024 USPL season is set to begin on Monday, May 13th, marking the start of our 50th consecutive year of slo-pitch play. From May to September, teams will play between 25 to 27 regular season games. After the regular season, playoff brackets will be formed, and games will be played over two weeks in the middle of September. The Championship Weekend (September 20-22) will feature a beer and food tent, music, and some outstanding slo-pitch games.

 

We take pride in fostering a sense of fellowship, camaraderie, and community among our members. The bonds formed between teammates and opposing players have led to countless long-term friendships, making the USPL a unique and cherished part of our community.

We welcome new players and teams to join our league and become a part of our slo-pitch family. If you're interested in participating in the 2024 season, please click on the 2024 USPL Registration link on the right-hand side near the top of the league homepage.

 

We look forward to seeing you on the field!
