Notices ahead of the first week of the 2026 season

 


Hi everyone, 

Softball and T-Ball season is here! Not to jinx anything, but there was one year when we had snow on our first practice night...

The evening starts at 6:00 with a welcome message and an explanation of the first night's activities. T-Ball players can expect to wrap up at around 6:45; Minors and Majors a little bit afterwards. 

As always, players need to bring their own glove, but all other equipment will be provided. If players wish to use their own bats or batting helmets, they are welcome to bring them for inspection to make sure they are usable. 

A reminder that plastic cleats are optional but not required, while metal cleats are not permitted. Also, a reminder to families that there is no smoking or vaping permitted on the diamond complex, as posted by the township.

In terms of weather, we will always try to play during a drizzle or light rain, but will automatically cancel games and practices if there are thunderstorms in the area. Occasionally, the diamonds may not be in playable conditions from heavy rains earlier in the day, even if it's not raining by the evening. 

In all cases, watch for posts in our Facebook group or here on the blog, or a notice sent out to the mailing list advising of cancellations. No news is good news, and if there are no posts or messages, then softball is on!

Hi everyone, We're just under a month from our season opener on Monday, May 4th, so here are some updates about the season schedule and how the first week will go. Softball and T-Ball will run on Mondays and Wednesdays (excepting holidays) through to July 29th, with all divisions either practicing or playing each night. The first couple of nights, May 4th and 6th, will feature whole division practices to go over basic skills and to help us assess players to make teams. After that first week, more specific information will be posted with game and practice schedules and special event nights throughout the season. While our numbers will change as more registrations come in this month, all divisions are likely to start at 6:00 pm. T-Ball runs for about 45 minutes while Minors and Majors are on the field for an hour or so.
