Schedule: Play begins in April and approximately 10-12 games will be played, plus a playoff that all teams will be eligible for.
Fields: The majority of games will be played at William Yena Park.
Practice: Teams will practice at their managers discretion. Typically each team will have 3-5 practices before the season starts with an occasional in season practice. There is no league policy on practice as it is entirely up to the manager to practice as often as they see fit.
Game Play: Minors games will consist of 4-6 innings of competitive softball in which the score will be kept along with league standings. The kids pitch with in-game assistance from coaches only after walking two batters in an inning and reaching a 3-0 or 3-1 count. An umpire will call balls and strikes from behind the plate. Managers are encouraged to rotate their players between the infield and outfield to promote development. At the conclusion of the regular season a playoff will take place in which all teams are seeded according to their regular season record. All-Star teams will be selected for both age groups by the league managers. If you have any questions about registration, the rules, or placement of your child, please contact the divisional VP. Email address can be found on the League Board tab of this website.
A team shirt is provided by the league. Players will need to bring their own glove and protective face mask. Protective face masks is required for all players. Helmets and bats are optional (and are otherwise shared/provided by the league during the game).
