Answers to a few common questions:
The 2013 registration fee is $200 per player.
This is not a "tryout" or "draft" league. Instead, every effort is made to divide teams by schools. Some schools have larger numbers of players, so some splitting/grouping is necessary
Meeting new people and otherwise expanding a player's social circle is a valuable aspect of the AMA experience.
If you'd like to request certain girls play together, volunteer to coach and make the request before registration closes and teams are set. No other team switching requests will be considered.
Requests to "play up" or "play down" will only be considered where a player wants to play with her grade-level classmates. All such requests must be made before registration closes and teams are set.
Most divisions will have their games on Saturdays.
Practice days, times and locations will be selected by coaches once teams are formed.
All our players have busy schedules outside of softball. Your coaches' and teammates' understanding of this fact must be balanced by you and your daughter's commitment to her team and the softball experience in general.
Teams will be set up by the end of February and practices will start in early March. Weather permitting, games will run from March 9th until May 18th.
There are a number of volunteer positions available - please contact Jeff Lokey if you're interested in helping make this a great season and program.
Teams will be set up late February and practices will start early March. Weather permitting, games will run from March 9th until May 18th.
We are in the process of scheduling pitching, hitting and fielding clinics, as well as arranging with local high school and college coaches and players to attend practices and provide instruction. Stay tuned....
