Let's play some softball!

What a great weekend for Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball! A ton of kids showed up for assessments on Saturday, and on Sunday, 14 coaches tackled the difficult task of pulling the teams together for the 2008 season. Can you believe it's less than two week 'til our Jamboree, and just three weeks 'til the games start? Are you ready?

Players should hear from their coaches (if they haven't already) by the middle of this week. If you've registered and not heard from one of our coaches by Wednesday, April 9th, please email us here or call us at 822-3575. Practices for most teams start right away.

More than 150 players, ages 6 to 16 have signed on to play softball this season. We have four strong divisions.

8 & Under = 4 teams
10 & Under = 4 teams
12 & Under = 3 teams
16 & Under = 3 teams

As an ASA league, our registrations are not limited to a single community. Our players come from up and down the northern Humboldt neighborhood, from Eureka to Trinidad. Here's an idea of the geographic mix of our players and coaches: (to see this in graph form, click here.)

40% from Arcata
39% from McKinleyville
10% from Bayside
8% from Blue Lake, Trinidad, & Fieldbrook
3% from Eureka & Manila

Remember the league Jamboree (with team pictures) is Saturday, April 19th. Our games begin Monday, April 28th and run through June 6th. A season ending tournament will be played the week of June 9th. Once again, we will be playing interleague games with the Cutten-Ridgewood ASA league to round out our schedule.

Thank you all for joining us for a fantastic softball season. We'll see you on the fields.
