Important League Information

Uniform:

All those participating in the league will receive a team jersey and a visor.  Minor and Junior level players will also receive matching socks.  It is the responsibility of each player to purchase a pair of softball pants. These pants should be black.

Practices and Games:

Practices will begin at the end of March/beginning of April with the season kicking off at the end of April. The season will conclude around the second week in June (unless we have multiple rainouts throughout the season).

Practices days and times will be determined by individual coaches, but in the beginning of the season teams can expect 2-3 practices per week and as the season progresses this will reduce.

Code of Participation

Coaches will strive to give equal playing time to all participants. Each division has regulations in place for how much playing time players will receive and the positions that they will be placed in.  However, player commitment is very important to the league and those players that are practicing regularly and participating in team/league events may be rewarded through a starting position, and playing extra innings if a spot arises.

Team Assignment:

For the minor and junior divisions there will be an evaluation night in order to fairly assign players to teams. More information about this try-out will be forthcoming, but it will take place at the beginning of March. Players will be assigned to teams based on experience, skill level, position and sportsmanship. 

**Please note players may not end up on the same team they were on last year.

Teams and coaching assignments will be determined in March. Head coaches will have their child assigned to their team. Assistant coaches will be assigned after the draft and will be based around the team their child is assigned to.

In an effort to accommodate busy family schedules, all siblings will be placed on the same team within the same division unless otherwise noted. If siblings have different last names or addresses, please make a note of this. Children of coaches will be on the same team as their parent. All other players will be placed on a team so that talent is spread out equally among the division.
