NOTE: Because of a recent and expected continued increase in girls registering for Softball, we are planning to retain the Softball Green division after not having enough girls a few years previously.  However, it will depend on having enough players register in each of the various grades/levels.  If we determine that we do not have sufficient girls to offer SB Green this year, we will shift registered players to other appropriate divisions, after notifying everyone.  If so, you will have the chance to cancel your registration and receive a full refund prior to teams being selected.
