It's 2011 and it's time for some softball!

Happy 2011 y'all! With all this great, sunny weather, it's about to get our 2011 Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball Season underway. We'd like to invite all of our past players and all those new to our area, our league, and our game to join us for another fun-filled, exciting spring softball season.

REGISTRATION: Our 2011 Player Registration Form is available online now! Returning players will also find these forms in the mail in the next few days.

Fees this year include a $50 per player registration fee and a $35 one-time, non-refundable uniform fee. If you played with us last season, and returned your uniform in good condition, no uniform fee is required. We do require all families to contribute 2 hours of volunteer time to the league, either on the field as coaches, in the dugout as team parents, in the concession stands, or assisting with the management of league equipment, uniforms, fundraisers etc. For those who already have too many commitments, we do offer a $25 volunteer buy-out option.

Forgot to sign up? It's not too late!

Coaches, parents and nearly 110 softball players enjoyed a great Saturday afternoon testing their softball skills on assessment day last weekend. On Sunday, your coaches spent another afternoon divvying up the kids in to 12 teams and 4 divisions. You should be hearing from your coaches about practice schedules this week.

If you missed our assessments or haven't registered, it's not too late! We're still accepting registrations for new and returning players of all ages (7-16). Please download the player registration form on the right of this page and send it in to us as soon as possible. High school JV players from any area high school looking for quality playing time and coaching after the JV season ends are encouraged to join our program.

If you would, please drop us an email at madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com and let us know you plan on registering. Late registrations are not necessarily guaranteed placement with specific teams or coaches, but everyone will have a chance to play.

Practices have already started and games begin on Saturday, April 4th.

Player Assessments: Saturday, March 14th at the HSU Field House

Softball Season has finally, finally arrived!

Player assessments for the Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball Association's 2009 Spring Season will be held this Saturday, March 14th, at the Humboldt State University Field House (on campus at the north end of Union Street).

Players need to bring only their softball gloves. Rubber softball cleats are permitted in the field house.

These are not try-outs! Every player registered will be placed on a team. Saturday is a simple skills assessment to help coaches determine the best team placement to ensure a competitive and rewarding softball experience for our players.

Players should show up at the times set for their age groups. A player's division is determined by their age on December 31, 2008. Here are the times:

7 & 8 year olds: 12:00 - 1:00

9 & 10 year olds: 1:00 - 2:00

11 & 12 year olds: 2:00 - 3:00

13 to 16 year olds: 3:00 - 4:00

Registration forms and fees will be collected at the assessments (f you've not pre-registered already). Please download the registration form here, and bring it with you, along with the $60 registration fee and $30 refundable uniform deposit. Players will not be able to participate in practices or games until all fees are paid.

The player draft is scheduled for Sunday, March 15th. You should be hearing from your coach during the week of March 16th. Practices may begin as soon as coaches have contacted their players. (And after the fields are dry enough for us to play on.)

If you have any questions about the assessments or team placement, please don't hesitate to contact us at madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com , or call the league hotline at 822-3575.

We'll see you Saturday!
