10. Softball Practices (start 02/21)
- Prior to games starting, all teams will be scheduled for two practice slots per week.
- Once games start, 7YO & Older teams will keep one of their two weekly slots. The 5/6YO will no longer have a practice slot although head coaches can request space periodically when needed.
- Most practices will occur at Crockett Park although a few may occur at Civitan Park.
- Parents should expect weather impacts - rain, too cold, etc. to practice - prior to games starting so teams are given several practice slots before games.
- Practices for 5/6YOs last 60 minutes; 7/8YOs last 90 minutes; and, older can last from 90 to 120 minutes. Weekdays typically start at 5:00PM, Saturdays at 9:00AM, Sundays at 12:30PM.

As such across 5 teams/5 games per week, there will be two games on Monday - one at 5:30, one at 6:40, a solo game on Thursdays at 5:30 and two games Saturday morning. Each team will play two of those days.

How softball teams are formed:
For all seasons, teams are formed based on parent requests and then team rosters are completed by the club where we attempt to group by neighborhood or school and then spread the “new to softball” players across the teams. The club attempts to ensure each kid pitch team has a catcher and pitcher. Score is kept in the spring & fall.
