Now let’s do it again.
Softball fans, we’re gearing up for the season. As soon as we get the full game calendars we will update all the info on those pages.
Here are just a couple of our sponsors that are helping us out this season.
A Big Thanks to them for all of their support.
The donations we receive make a huge difference. That money goes to new uniforms, equipment like bats & tees and of course we’ll probably be getting the girls ice cream at some point.
Of course you know, Smith Engineering Company is the patron saint of the Sluggers Softball Team. Smith has been a faithful sponsor since the inception of the team all the way back in 2008.
So the Sluggers would like to say.
Thank You.
Coaches, we know with the season kicking off every team out there is looking for practice spaces. I’m afraid we can’t help you with that.
But, we can give you a little help for when you find a place.
As a favor, we provide links to the USSSA website and rulebook. (check-em out. the links are up-top)
If you go to that rulebook looking for a nice graphic to help you layout a practice field, well, the image in there is not so great. Your going to be disappointed.
So, as a little gift from the Sluggers to you, here is a way better graphic showing an appropriate field layout. There is even a pdf copy. Just in case you want to download and print a paper copy.
I know,
Your welcome.
Here is the info for this Saturday’s draft. So, if you’re a coach and need some players or if you are a registered player and need a team, you need to be at the fields Sayurday.
It’s going to be cool so bring a sweater along with your glove and cleats.
Coaches, you’re going to want to be at the fields even if you don’t need any more girls on your team.
Also coaches, don’t forget we still have a few of you that need to turn in coaches applications and most still need sponsorship fees and to complete the concussion awareness certificate. Here is a link to complete your training certificate.
HEADS UP to Youth Sports: Online Training
Download the certificate and email it to the league at sluggers.rgsa@live.com
We will be holding early registration on Saturdays, January 18th & 25th and February 1st from 9:00 am till 1:00 pm. ($55.00 per player)

Our team age divisions range from 5 years old all the way up to 14, but you’ll need to show a birth certificate. Remember, your player’s age division is defined by how old they are on January 1st of this year.Here is the age division break-down:
5&6 year olds in the 6U, – 6U FORM
7&8 year olds in the 8U, – 8U FORM
9&10 year olds in the 10U, – 10U FORM
11&12 year olds in the 12U – 12U FORM
13&14 year olds in the 14U – 14U FORM
Click on the link for your form and print it out. Having your form in hand when you show up for registration puts you ahead of the game and you won’t have to be there as long.
In our Forms Page you will find copies of this year’s Sponsor Form, Coaches App and a few others.
I know we’ve already had a few games played but today is when the board scheduled the ceremony.
So, here we go.
Calling all coaches!!
I know is’t a late notice but there will be a coaches meeting Thursday, Feb. 28th at the Charlie McVay Softball Complex at 6:00pm.
We’ll be handing out team rosters and going over a few other things. Yes, I am leaving a bunch of details out. You’ll have to go to the meeting to find out what they are.
Let’s just say, if you’r a coach, you should probably make sure you have your Coach’s App and Head’s Up Concussion form ready to turn in.
You don’t want to find out what will happen if you don’t have that stuff.
You can download the Coach’s App here and if you need to complete the Heads Up concussion awareness certificate click the link to watch the video and complete the questions. Heads Up in Youth Sports
