All six county softball teams will begin the softball postseason with the Alabama High School Athletic Association area tournament on Friday, April 26, through Tuesday, April 30.

For all area tournaments, the top-seeded team in the final regular-season standings will serve as the host. Each tournament will be conducted in a double-elimination bracket. The higher seed will be the designated “home team” in the first games, while a coin flip will determine the “home team” in all subsequent games.

Admission is $10 per day, which includes all processing fees.
