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.
