About This Activity
WE ARE IN NEED OF COACHES THIS YEAR!! PLEASE CHECK THE BOX WITHIN REGISTRATION IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP AND/OR REACH OUT TO THE DIRECTOR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED! softball@waterlooyouthsports.com
This registration is intended for all girls interested in playing 8u machine pitch through High School (14U) Recreational Softball. These teams are involved in league play that involves some travel.
If there is enough interest for a 16U or 18U level team, we will definitely give it a try!
Again this year, we will not be doing the skills group and move those players right into machine pitch for learning purposes and to continue to move the softball program forward.
Girls who have had 1 year of tball are strongly encouraged to sign up for machine pitch. It is recommended that girls start with machine pitch as early as possible for success. In machine pitch, players all get 5 machine pitches. If they do not hit from the machine, they will have 3 opportunities on the tee then.
If you have concerns or questions, please reach out to our softball director Linda Lawless at softball@waterlooyouthsports.com
