SOFTBALL INFORMATION
Your coach will contact you to let you know when you will have your first practice.
Practices will be 1-3 days a week until games start. Once games begin, your practice schedule will depend on your game schedule. Teams are not allowed to meet more than 3 days a week. No games or practices will be scheduled on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays with the exception of the games played on Opening Day.
In the event of rain, we will make a decision no sooner than 4:00pm to cancel games/practices. Coach’s will be notified immediately and will be responsible for passing that info along to their team. We will also post information on our Foley Recreation Facebook page.
Foley Recreation will provide uniforms and equipment (bats, helmets, balls, and catchers equipment) for each team. You will need to purchase the following items:
Glove
Cleats
Fielders Mask
Bat (if you prefer your own, it must have a USSSA stamp)
Batting Helmet (if you prefer your own, 6U-10U require face guard)
**Uniforms will be passed out at practice (before games start) by your coach.**
PLAYER SAFETY
Player safety is always our number one priority. Here is a great link from the Andrew’s Institute on injury prevention in youth softball.
