Softball Rookie League is for children currently in 1st and 2nd grade. The focus of this league is teaching/improving basic fundamentals like throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, baserunning, teamwork, and of course to have fun. Once teams are formed, each team will be provided with several practices before games start. Practice and Games are typically Monday through Saturday. Start times during the week usually are after 5pm and Saturday games typically start in the morning at 9am and run throughout the day. Practices will start around the beginning of May, with games ending around mid-July. Coaches may choose to hold practices outside of the league scheduled practices.

Teams are formed by a coaches draft. There will be no player or coach request for this league. If your child played in this league last year, they will be assigned to the same team. We understand that everyone is busy. If you can't make a game or practice or will be late, it's not a big deal, but imperative to let your coach know.
