Welcome to The Hudson Mohawk District 7 Softball Website
The Hudson Mohawk District Traveling League has been in existence for over 10 years. The league is affiliated with and governed by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA). Currently, the league consists of 35 youth softball associations throughout 4 counties in and around the Capitol Region; Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer & Saratoga, plus an organization from Vermont. Play is divided into 6 different age divsions; 10-, 12-, 14-, 16-, 18-, and an Open Division.
This program helps develop interest, skills, desire and sportsmanship in a new generation of softball players - the ideals needed for these young ladies to excel individually and, ultimately, to ensure the continued growth of the sport. This Junior Olympic program emphasizes fun and an all-important feeling of belonging and being part of something worthwhile.
