Looking for a team or player?

If you are a player looking for a team, attend the annual clean up day on Saturday, April 12. This will give you an opportunity to meet teams, help the fields get ready, and possibly have a practice or play a game. 

Teams looking for players can also attend the clean up day. 

Whether you are a player or a team looking for people and can't make the clean up day, you can post on our Player/Team Message board by clicking HERE.

Players looking for teams can attend registration and notify the league representatives so teams looking for players can be contacted. They can also visit the web-site and leave information so teams may contact them. There is also an opportunity to meet team representatives at cleanup day at Batch Fields on April 12 at 10:00 am.

Annual Meetings

Annual meetings to go over the 2025 season, fees, and league information. All meetings will be held at Muni's Sports Grille located at 2201 North Benton Ave in the Bill Robert's Golf Course Pro Shop.

At least 1 representative from each team should attend to get more information and ask questions. Meeting notes will be provided here after the meeting is completed. 

  • COED Meeting - March 12 at 6pm (meeting notes coming soon)
  • Women's Meeting - March 11 at 6pm (meeting notes coming soon)
  • Men's Meeting - March 18 at 6pm

Want to start a team for the upcoming season?

Team registration for the upcoming season will be in early April. Now is the time for new teams to be looking for sponsors for next season. Teams must have at least 10 players and be able to pay team fees at registration time in April. Most teams have a "Sponsor" to pay for team fees. What has worked well in the past to find a sponsor is to contact a business early and discuss terms of the sponsorship. Restaurants and drinking establishments are popular because they help you out with team sponsorship and you can help them out by frequenting their business. Anytime you can reciprocate a sponsor by supporting them first always helps. 

If you have any questions please contact us at helenasoftball@yahoo.com.
