We offer a Travel League from 8U through 16U, as well as a 25U College League team. Rec Softball:
Our recreation softball season starts in May and runs through the middle of June. Girls who meet the age requirement (as of Dec. 31st), may register regardless of their experience and are organized into teams within the age divisions listed below. The team dry fit shirt (included in the registration fee) will be provided before the start of the season. Each player will need to provide a fielding glove and batting helmet equipped with both a face cage and chin strap. All players are "Strongly Encouraged" to wear a fielding mask on the field at all times. Link to examples of Fielder's Masks
Parents that would like to be a coach, assistant coach or help in the dugout must register through the same process as the players and must submit to a mandatory background check. Travel Softball:
What are the age groups/divisions? Unlike recreation play, which is driven by grade level, Travel Ball is driven by your daughter's birthday as of December 31st. We will assemble teams in 5 age groups - 8u, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U. Within each age group, we will create teams and attempt to match the overall skill level of the team with opportunities for play within which they will be competitive. There may be more than one team created in an age group. This is driven by the number of girls who try out, and their skill level. When is the travel season? The majority of Spring travel ball will be played in June and July. Some teams may take on tournaments that could extend the season from late May to August. The final schedule will be determined by each team's manager and can vary from year to year. The Majority of Fall travel ball is played in September and October. While we encourage girls to participate in both Spring and Fall this is not a requirement. Where and when do we play games? Teams typically travel no more than 45 minutes to play their away games and home games are played at the BHBL Girls Softball Complex at Indian Meadows. The Hudson-Mohawk league puts together a travel season that consists of 12 games from early June through late July. Each team will play in weekend tournaments as well. Each age groups schedule will be determined by that team's manager.
