SOFTBALL UPDATE: Different this year.... ALL County 4-H Softball Games - teams will be mixed between clubs and ages. Sign up via Sign Up Genius each week by Wednesday for upcoming Sunday (see link below).

We ARE still waiting for confirmation from Rice Lake that we can use the fields, but we can cross our fingers and get information out now.

Games will be EVERY Sunday in June at yPM, with the last one being a potluck like last year

We have decided that softball will be open to everyone (grades 3 and older) and teams will be formed each Sunday.

This site also has a link to the sign-up genius we will use to make sure we have players AND certified volunteers.

We need at least 2 certified volunteers per field-with the number of parents we have that are certified, that should not be an issue. If there are parents that want to become certified, it's been taking less than a week to make that happen as long as they get the background check.
