How are Teams Created?
Kindergarten-3rd Grade Instructional Leagues
It is our goal to create teams in the Instructional Leagues that integrate the girls so that they may meet new friends from other areas of town, but every attempt is made for a girl from any one school to be on the same team with at least one other girl from that same school. We will consider requests and attempt to accommodate, but cannot guarantee any specific team placement.
4th-8th Grade Leagues
In the National (4th & 5th Grade) and American (6th-8th Grade) leagues, a draft is completed to create teams. Each team coach is involved in the draft and team placement is based entirely on draft selection.

When is the Beginning and What is the Length of the Season?
Softball practices begin on or about April 1 depending upon the weather and field conditions. All league play ends in early June; again depending upon how many games had to be rescheduled due to inclement weather. League playoffs in the NL and AL usually conclude by mid June.

When are Practices for all the Leagues?
The practice schedule is at the discretion of the coach and his/her availability. As to the exact time and days; that is determined by individual coaches. Practices are generally once (or more) times per week on the weeknights.

My Daughters are just Beginning. What is the Format of Play in the K-1 League?
At the K-1 grade level, the league is instructional. The girls will learn basic skills with emphasis on proper technique, rules of the game, etc. It starts out as T-ball but as the season progresses; those girls who can hit a pitch from the coach will be given the opportunity to do so. The T is a great training tool; used continually by coaches through WHS varsity. All girls hit and field during games though, again, skills and instruction are the emphasis.

My Daughters are just Beginning but are Older than your Instructional Leagues. Can they still play?
Simply note on your registration that your daughter is a new player and also inform her coach at the beginning of the season. Her coach will see that she is given special instructions on how to play the game and placed in field positions that will match her ability and experience level. It will be important that she attend all practices and clinics that are offered to her. All girls will be given the opportunity to play in every game regardless of ability level.

May I request a particular coach or team placement?
A request may be made and reviewed for the K-3rd Grade Instructional leagues, but we cannot make any guarantees. The 4th/5th Grade and 6th-8th Grade leagues are a draft and placement is determined by that draft.
