Since 2002, Hillcrest Softball League has been a staple for Sunday morning softball enthusiasts in Queens and Long Island. Now, after a recent rebrand, we've evolved into two specialized leagues: the Titan League and the Legacy League. Each league is tailored to unique interests and varying levels of competition, offering an expanded experience for all players.
It will be the game that we have played on Sundays in Queens and Long Island for the past 22 years.
Typically, there will be one contest a week for each team, and all games will be 9 innings long. The HSL Legacy league will be a competitive, yet social Sunday softball program.
The program will be fast paced, leading to strong rivalries each Sunday morning.
Titan League contests will be 7 innings long, with more games overall; half the weeks will be doubleheaders. There will be a few rule differences as compared to the Legacy program such as a farther mound, tighter lineup rules, and fewer mercy chances.
The league has a new commissioner this year in Avi Adelman, who is poised to take the HSL to the next level. The organization of the Hillcrest Softball League will still be done (as always) by the great league founder and president, Ariel Cohen, who has two and a half decades of sports organizational experience.
No matter your preference for game play, we have a fun and exciting softball league for everyone.
