WHAT WILL HAPPEN

The purpose of Play Days is to get you introduced to the coaches/managers and get you on an appropriate team. To do that, we will need to understand what type of player you are, and which division is best for you. So, we’ll run you through some light drills:

  • Throwing. You'll throw a ball from various distances
  • Ground balls. You'll field some light-to-moderate grounders then throw to first base
  • Fly balls. You'll field a few fly balls (probably thrown rather than hit) in the outfield
  • Running. You'll run from 3rd base to Home plate (70 ft) twice
  • Hitting. You'll have a decent turn at the plate, hitting pitches thrown to you by one of our experienced pitchers

WHAT IF...

  • ...I don't have any experience playing softball? Great! We'll teach you! We've got teams and skills clinics for every level.
  • ...I have an off-day and don't show everything I can do? If there’s no crying in baseball, there’s definitely no stress in softball. Have fun at Play Days—that’s much more important than anything else.
  • ...I can't do some of the things in the drills? No problem. This isn't a test, it's a way to get to know you and help us understand which division is best for you.

JOINING A TEAM

The process of joining a team will vary for everyone and may include one or more of the following:

  • You may be approached by a manager at the end of Play Day
  • You may be contacted by a manager via email or text in the days after Play Day
  • You may be contacted by one of the Division Directors or Members-at-Large via email or text in the days after
  • You may be directly assigned to a team by the Board

EVERYONE who attends Play Days will be placed on a team.

PLAYER FEES

  • All players are required to pay a Player Fee, which is highlighted in the Registration form. This fee must be paid to the league prior to the player’s first game.
  • Each team will have an additional set of fees (team fees, umpire fees, jerseys, etc). These fees will vary across teams and are set by the manager.
