Batter-up!
Adult
softball teams are forming for the spring season – check with your friends and
co-workers to see who else wants to play! Registration
deadline is March 22nd and you can choose to play in a variety
of leagues including co-ed, men, women, and seniors (including seniors ages
55+, 60+ as well as day or evening for seniors).
We do not

Safety Updates
Team manager
should check the updated Illegal Bat List to make sure
your team is using bats that are approved for safety by the Amateur Softball
Association. In addition to bat list changes, adult softball players should
note that the base path distance will be moved to 70 feet (up from 65 feet) to
follow the new national standards.
