Mount Pearl Men's Slo-Pitch Softball League

AGM Notes

Not a bad turnout for this year’s AGM, as 50+ turned up to discuss the past year, as well as this year’s hot topics, rule changes and Executive elections.  For those who could not make it, the minutes, Presidents report and Treasurer’s report will be available upon request.

The Executive will remain mostly the same as Karl Baker and Cliff Brown were both re-elected as Treasurer and Vice President respectively.   the one exception being Scottie Druken who was elected to fill the Directors spot left vacant by Todd Clements.  I want to thank Todd for his work over the last couple of years and welcome Scott to the Executive.

Rule Changes at this years AGM:

The biggest change this year is that Fathers, Sons or Brothers (must be immediate family) of players not living inside the league boundaries are now able to register for our league. If you have a brother or a son, for example, living in paradise and he would like to join our league he is now welcome. provided of course that he is 35 or older.

The members also voted to remove the 3 year exemption for players to become Captains or Co-Captains.  Players can now become Captains or Co-Captains after their 1st year in the league provided, they are in good standing.

Any questions, just give us a holler!

Online Registration is open!

The online Registration for 2025 is now open for all players.  New players may also complete the online form, however, new players MUST register in person at the clubhouse on one of the 2 registration dates (April 1st  and April 8th).  If a new applicant is unable to make those 2 dates, he must meet with the executive before access to the league is granted.  Dates and times will be made available at a later date.

Mount Pearl Men's Slo-Pitch Softball League named Mount Pearl Community Group of the Year for 2024

As I have been preaching for years.... we are more than a bunch of old softball players.  We have been a big part of this community for over 40 years.

Every year the Mount Pearl Men's Slo-Pitch Softball League gets involved with many of the Cities groups to help out in any way we can.

By using our strong membership base and a portion of our registration fee (in case you didn't know.... $10 from everyone’s registration goes toward the fund that allow us to do the following) we have been able to support the following groups:

• School Lunch Program by helping to fund the program at the following schools:
  • Mary Queen of the World
  • Newtown Elementary
  • Morris Acadamy
  • St. Peter's Elementary
• The Janeway Hospital
• The Childrens Wish Foundation
• The Special Olympics
• Local Food Banks
• Local minor sporting groups

The League issues multiple scholarships (totaling nearly $25,000 over the last 12 years) for children/grandchildren of league members who are completing high school and are moving on to post-secondary institutions.

Our newest project involved setting up a fund to help players/players families who may need the help for whatever reason. This fund is replenished yearly by funds raised during our Super Sundays.

And you just thought you were only playing ball!

Also want to congratulate our own Calvin Smith on winning the Citizen of the Year Award!  Well deserved Calvin!
