Program overview:
1) The entire season - practices, games & final tournament - lasts approximately 7 weeks, beginning in mid-August and ending in late September. League games are double headers at various parks around the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin area, held on either a Saturday or Sunday depending on your player's age. Double headers typically start at Noon or 3pm.

2) Practices are held 1-2 times per week in the evening per the coach's discretion.
3) There are no residency restrictions for this program. We welcome players from Hudson and all other nearby communities.
4) The focus of this program is player development. It is a good introduction into a traveling-type atmosphere for players that are considering playing traveling softball in the following summer.
5) There are no tryouts. Teams will be formed by the Boosters Softball committee based on previous experience, self evaluation on registration form, and pitching/catching needs. No play with or carpooling requests will be considered with team formation.
6) The exact game schedule, including time and location, is released 3-5 days in advance. This allows the league to adjust the schedule to have teams with a similar record play each week. There will always be two games on Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
7) Registration fee includes a jersey. Pants and other uniform parts are to be supplied by the players.
· 8U Fee: $110
· 10U Fee: $175
· 12U Fee: $175
· 14U Fee: $175
· 16U Fee: $175

8) This is a volunteer-run organization. 3 volunteer hours are required for Fall Softball.
