Requirements:
Sessions are open to players in the Grade 3-5, Grade 6-9 & Grade 10-12 Divisions.  
An adult catcher must be provided by the parent for the session.  Minors are not permitted to catch unless you receive advanced permission from the league.
 

Session Information:
For session availability please visit this link.  Weekly sessions are recommended, more practice equals better pitchers.

Revised Rule Books for Spring 2024

The updated rule books for the Spring 2024 season have been uploaded. Please see the Rules page for the updated books.

Updated Sunday Indoor Pitching Practice Schedule

We will be adding a couple more weeks of indoor pitching practice for experienced pitchers.  Please note, these sessions are not pitching clinics so there is no dedicated instructor.  Pitching clinics for new pitchers will start in mid-March, details will be coming soon on how to sign up for those sessions.

We have openings available for this Sunday and the first two Sundays in March.

Session Details:
Location: Linton Springs Elementary School - Community Room (Door 10 near the gym)
Dates: 2/25, 3/3 & 3/10
Times: There are four time sessions available and will be limited to 6 players per session
8:30 am - 9:30 am
9:35 am - 10:35 am
10:40 am - 11:40 am
11:45 am - 12:45 pm

Your child must be registered for the Spring 2024 season to participate in these sessions.  Parents are required to provide an adult catcher for pitching practice.  Siblings may catch but anyone under 18 must wear full catchers gear (no gear will be provided).  

Depending on the interest levels we may need to consolidate sessions.

If you want to get an early jump on pitching this season please email fdosoftball.john@gmail.com and kmullini@hotmail.com.  You can check current session availability using this link.
