League Information

Rainbow City Softball is a slow-pitch softball league for cis women, trans and non-binary persons in the greater Seattle area. Games are played on Sundays at Lower Woodland Ball Fields. RCS offers two softball seasons each year – Spring/Summer League and Fall Ball.

Spring/Summer Softball League

RCS welcomes 250+ softball players to Lower Woodland Field every Sunday for fun, competition, and community. The softball season, which runs from April through late June, is the heart of our league. We don’t play on Memorial Day or Pride weekend but rain-outs and unforeseen events may push our game days to mid-July. Playoffs may or may not be scheduled depending on rain-out and other scheduling factors.

  • Slow Pitch Softball
  • 16 – 55 min regular season games, plus double elimination playoffs.
  • USA Softball of Seattle Umpires.
