Softball 2018 registrations due Wednesday April 18th
Availability: Thursday is full for first session, Everything else is OK.
The Sands offers recreational Co-Ed leagues on Sunday and Thursday. There are Men's Leagues offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You sign up for the day you want to play.
At the Sands softball is played for fun. The expanded beer selection at the Cabana Bar is cold. Safety and Sportsmanship are emphasized. We use unenhanced single wall bats. Co-Ed is offered Sunday and Thursday. Men's is offered Tuesday and Wednesday. Teams play on the same night each week. During the work week the games vary between 6:00 and 9:00. On Sundays we start at 5:00.
The increased cost of operating softball has caused us to closely evaluate how we operate. If we are not playing three games per field, we are losing money. Therefore Wednesday Men's was revamped. On Wednesday there may be a compressed season with some double headers. Depends on the number of teams. In 2017 the league grew. We will see what we get this year.
Definitions: "getting tight" means get it in the mail, "tight" means turn it in now and have a second choice, "very tight" means you might get in and "full" means please try again next year.
For the 2017 season teams can use 47 or 52 core restricted flight balls.

Legal Stuff:
Bats: Bat List ASA updates their bate list periodically. They are not very quick about it. We use aluminum single wall one piece bats. Bats listed on the ASA site as SW (Single Wall) may be legal or they could be two piece. Don't unwrap a bat until an Umpire has cleared and stickered it.
