WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
There will bats available to borrow if you don’t have your own. It would be best if you have a glove, but you can borrow one temporarily. For a $45.00 annual participation fee, you get a team hat, shirt, and more fun than the law should allow. You can be our guest for two weeks before deciding to join.
I CAN STILL HIT, THROW, AND CATCH OKAY, BUT MY RUNNING HAS GONE SOUTH.
Not a problem. If you can't run, you can have a Substitute Runner from home plate, or get a Courtesy Runner when on base. We will find a spot for you on defense that does not require much mobility, or you can just play offense.
THESE OLD BONES AREN’T AS FLEXIBLE AS THEY USED TO BE. CAN I GET INJURED?
We play slow-pitch softball with modified rules for safety. Metal cleats are not allowed and physical contact is discouraged. However, as with any physical activity, an injury is always possible.
I HAVEN’T TOUCHED A BAT IN YEARS, AND YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY ALL JOCKS, RIGHT?
We have two practice teams, one for experienced players and players just getting back into the game. The main goal is to have fun.
THE SPOUSE AND I LIKE TO TRAVEL, SO I MIGHT MISS A FEW GAMES. PROBLEM?
Not at all. There are no set teams, they are picked randomly, and all players miss occasionally. The League plays year round weather permitting.
