2025 Softball Age Cutoff

Lorain County Hot Stove now uses a player's age as of August 31 of the previous year to determine their playing age for the upcoming season. For example, a child's playing age for the Summer 2025 season is their age as of August 31, 2024.

There is a useful age calculation tool that can help determine the player's correct playing age. It can be found HERE . Please make sure to select 2025 Season and Youth.
