Chico Senior Softball 2026 Season News:
2026 Registration News:
Please come back here to sign up starting Jan 1st. Our 2026 season Registration will begin Jan 1, 2026.
The 2026 registration fee will be $140, the same as the past two seasons. Thank you to our sponsors that have helped make that possible.
Rather mail in your registration? A Paper Registration Form is also available on our Documents Page.
Want to play in two (2) divisions? You can as long as your “Age Eligible” for each division. And here’s the best part! That 2nd division is Half-Price or $70. Enter the discount code 2ndDivision2026 when AND ONLY WHEN you are registering for your 2nd division.
(Using the discount code if you are only playing in one division will cause your registration to be rejected. And yes, we watch out for it, because each year at least one person does it.)
You must be registered with your league fees fully paid the day before your division’s draft date to be included in the draft (Not on the Day of the Draft!!!). Division drafts will begin the week of March 16, 2026, subject to change.
ALL PLAYERS registered before the draft WILL BE placed on a team, guaranteed.
Players that register on or after their division’s draft date will be placed on a team ONLY if there are roster openings after the draft as per CSS Rule 31.
The number of teams per division will be determined by the number of draft eligible players registered. Team roster sizes will not exceed 13 players per team.
2026 Draft:
The 2026 draft is tentatively scheduled for the week of March 16, 2026. Each division will hold its own draft night, 6:00pm at Mountain Mike’s Pizza on Mangrove Ave.
Open Draft: Date TBD
Veterans Draft: Date TBD
Masters Draft: Date TBD
MANAGERS NEEDED for the 2026 Season:
Managers and Assistant Managers are needed for the 2026 season. Managers and Asst Managers are automatically on the same team. Primary duties of the Managers/Asst Managers are,
- a. Draft your team on draft night.
- b. Mange the team roster for the season.
- c. Make your teams line up for each game.
- d. Vote for your division’s All-Stars.
- e. Communicate with your players as needed on other matters that come up.
If you are interested in managing, please contact any CSS Board Member or email the Board at board@chicoseniorsoftball.com to express your interest.
As always, we encourage new Managers/Asst Managers each year to step forward as we cannot rely on or expect the same guys to do it each year.
What if there are not enough managers? If this happens then the CSS Board will draft the team(s) and the selected players will need to name a manager amongst themselves once the season starts.

Sponsorship for the 2026 season is now available for a Sponsorship Fee of $250.
