Safety & Training
AB Youth Softball will now require players to have a wire face guard on their helmets. The league is supplying team helmets with face guards for U10 and up. ALL players at U10 and above will be required to have a face guard on the helmet. So if your child has their own helmet, it must have a face guard installed.

AB Youth Softball has purchased softball training videos and has donated them to the Acton Library. These tapes are excellent for both players and coaches. The video titles are:
"Hitting Mechanics & Circuit Training"
"Coaching Fast Pitch"
"Fast Pitch - Strategies of the game"
"Defensive Strategy in Softball"
"Fast Pitch Pitching"
