All players interested in playing this summer should register.  If you are signed up for a tournament team through the MHSC, you need to register here to play league play over the summer.

PARENT MEETING

An informational meeting for parents will be held on:  March 7th at 6:00 p.m. in the Middle School Step Room.  This meeting is ONLY for 10U parents and all first-year parents of the softball club.

We will be covering all aspects of the softball club and answering all parents’ questions regarding equipment, expectations, and timelines for games/practices.

ZOOM CALL

There will be a zoom call set up for 14U parents on March 10th at 6:30 p.m. Info to access will be sent out prior to March 10th.

LEAGUES

Our summer teams will play in either the Legion Softball League, South Central League, Sugar River League, or the Greater Dane League. More details will be available on league play once we get closer to Spring.

AGE LEVELS

Age divisions are determined based on age as of 12/31/2023, i.e. 10 years or younger as of 12/31/2013 will be in the U10 division. Players may be permitted to play up a division if participant numbers and skill level allow but cannot play down.

NON-TOURNAMENT TEAM SKILLS ASSESSMENT

This will take place on Monday, March 18th at the Early Learning Center (ELC).  Player time slots will be sent out one week prior to assessment.  This will assist the softball board with forming teams that are skill appropriate for your daughter. **Please note assessment will only take place if needed based on total number of players and roster needs per age level.  ONLY players that were not placed on teams at the July Tournament Team assessment will attend this March 18th assessment.**

JERSEYS / APPAREL

U14s have their own unique jersey design. Costs have not yet been determined and more info will come regarding ordering / payment. Jerseys will be ordered by March 1st.

VOLUNTEER-IN-PROGRESS (VIP) PROGRAM

The VIP Program will be utilized again this year to run the youth season and staff the Troll Tourney on June 21-23 in Mount Horeb. To support the activities revolving around our annual youth tournament, a parent of each player who is on a team that is registered to play in the Mount Horeb Troll Tourney will be responsible to volunteer for a minimum of one shift at the Troll Tourney. Each shift will equal half of the total VIP credits for the year. Teams will be assigned shifts on days opposite that their daughter plays so you will not miss any activities. This change does not apply to the head coach and the first and second (if applicable) assistant coaches on each team.

The VIP program fee is $150 per player, $300 max per family. At the end of the season, if you have fulfilled your volunteer requirements you will receive a refund. There is a choice to opt out of volunteering as part of the registration process if you know you will not be able to commit any hours during the season.  If you choose this option you will not be eligible for a refund at a later date. For more information, visit www.mohosoftballclub.com/volunteer. Players are NOT registered until payment for the VIP Program has been made / received.

PAYMENT

 In order to streamline the registration process, all payments for registration, jerseys, and VIP are required to be paid on-line at time of registration.
