DIVISIONS

Co-Ed BlastBall 

BlastBall is meant for children who are 4 years old or younger at the start of our spring season.  Team size ranges from 6-8 kids per team. Some basic equipment is provided to the coach. Parent involvement is encouraged. Schedules are determined after registration and matched up with field availability. Typically, at this level we play games on Saturday and once during the week.

As this is an entry-level/ young division practices are typically held once a week, at the coach's discretion. The goal is fun and to start getting them ready for T-ball and Coach Pitch.

Uniforms and trophies are provided at this level.

BlastBall is meant to put FUN into the game of Baseball/Softball. It is designed to generate fast-paced action, provide recreation and exercise, create enthusiasm and thru simplicity, allow retention of youth participants in the game.

Select softball is a commitment to practice additionally to your recreational team and play additional games on Sundays. Select team participants are assessed and drafted during our regular season assessments. Select teams are not the same as All-Star teams and in no way a guaranteed a spot on the post-season All-Star teams.  Select Managers are selected by the Board of Directors.  The Select Manager may select their coaching staff after the teams are drafted.
