February 9, 2010. 2:53 PM 

All fields are CLOSED today, EXCEPT Community Park 1 is open.  Field status is updated as soon as we are notified by the parks department.   Stay off the grass as well.

TBall and Rookie Players:  You should be notified of your team assignment by the middle of this week.  Your daughter's coach will be calling by then.  There is room on every tball team for 3-4 more players, so if your daughter has a friend/neighbor, signups are still being accepted through our website at this time!

SNACK BAR teen workers:  If interested please email snackbar@srsoftball.org.  You will be contacted when the schedule if finished, for training and availability.

YOUTH UMPIRES:  Please contact merebear12@@san.rr.com if you are interested.

We are excited about this upcoming season and very pleased to inform you that we are holding our fees flat to last year: $145 (including a refundable $40 snack-bar deposit) per registrant.  We are also offering a $25 discount to any new players to the league, so please encourage your friends to give it a try!

In order to maintain compliance with the Amateur Softball Association (ASA), our governing body, our divisions are organized by age:

T-Ball (age 5 & under with birth year 2004)

Rookie (age 6 & under with birth year 2003)

8U (7 & 8 year olds with birth year 2001 or 2002)

10U (9 & 10 year olds with birth year 1999 or 2000)

12U (11 & 12 year olds with birth year 1997 or 1998)

 14U (13 & 14 year olds with birth year 1995 or 1996)

For most of the girls, they will play where their age places them. However, it may be necessary, due to safety or coaching considerations, to allow players lacking sufficient softball experience to be placed in a lower age division. This will be determined prior to placement on a recreational team, with parent, coach, and board member(s) involvement.

We are looking forward to a great season!
