Softball follows USA softball rules and uses a January 1 cut-off date.
Our senior division teams will compete in a house league with teams from Hamburg. Players aged 13-15 are eligible and travel players can participate.
*Eight-year-olds that have played two seasons of Rookies softball will be moved to Minors softball.
Equipment:
Players will need their own glove and pants (color usually determined by the coach). A facemask, bat and helmet is also required, but teams will have some to share if a player does not have their own. We highly recommend all players wear a heart guard. Rubber baseball spikes are strongly recommended. Metal spikes are only allowed at the Senior level.
