Does my daughter need prior softball experience?
Not at all! Many players join us for their first softball season. Our coaches work with players at all experience levels to teach fundamentals, teamwork, and the skills needed to grow throughout the season.
What equipment does my player need for softball?
Please note that this is for softball, baseball equipment regulations are different! Players will need a softball glove, batting helmet with facemask, softball cleats, fielding mask and a bat. We also will have one bat and helmet available for team use. Join us at the beginning of each season for our free equipment exchange where you can pick up gently used equipment for use during the season.
Bat requirements: Bats must be printed with a BPF of 1.2 The 2-¼ inch bat ring must be used Non-wood bats must have a grip of cork, tape, or composition material, and must extend a minimum of 10 inches from the small end. No cracks or sharp edges.
Questions? The bat rules can be confusing and we’re here to help. Email us at [email protected] to ask any questions! TLDR: Look for the 1.2 BPF stamp and make sure the bat isn’t longer than 33”
When does the season start?
The softball season typically begins in the spring, with practices starting before games begin. Exact dates will be announced each season.
How are teams formed?
We hold assessments for older leagues prior to each season to help coaches form balanced, fair teams.
How involved can parents be?
We are a 100% volunteer-run league. We encourage all families to give back throughout the season, whether that’s through managing a team, assistant coaching, managing the dugout, scorekeeping, prepping fields, or just helping us keep our facilities trash free and well-kept.
If you’re interested in managing or assistant coaching, please indicate your interest during registration.
