Cheshire Youth Softball announces the creation of a 14U Division for the coming Spring Softball Season. 

The goals of this expansion are to:
1.       To provide an opportunity for Girls who have recently exited our Softball program.
2.       To establish the next level of play for our Girls who will be moving up from our 12U program.
3.       To provide the support, practice and opportunity to play  “Pony Rules”, which is the broadly accepted “rule of play” required outside our recreational program.  

In order to remain flexible to the girls/parents, who will solidify this new division, we recognize that many questions can only be answered after we know the number, skill levels and desires of the Girls who register. Possible formats could be, full recreational play in our CYSB league, out of CYSB league scrimmages, Local Tournament play and/or a mix of all. We recognize that the program needs to reflect what the girls want to play but also that it is the correct time to move up to Pony Rules. This is necessary to prepare them for organized play beyond CYSB in their future softball years and hopefully in a future CYSB 16U league.

Girls who are not older than 14 years of age on December 31, 2007 are eligible for play in the spring 2008 14U Division. The 14U Division is open to all Cheshire Girls; previous CYSB play is not required

Please talk to your players/friends and register early which will provide more time to customize the program to the Girls.  We are looking forward to an exciting new opportunity for our Girls.

Softball Summer Ball will be pick-up style, like that of Baseball, to take place  on Thursday nights, starting at 5:30pm. Fields yet to be determined. Age groups will be 8-10 years and 11-14 years of age. Craig Odermatt will head the 8-10's and Randy Bourdeau the 11-14's. As long as the player was a spring registrant, there should be no fee for this program. Non-spring registrants should pay $25.00 to participate, covering insurance costs. This is a "come when you can" program with little to no cost involved.
