Good evening,

SPYA Fall softball registration is now open through TeamSnap!
SPYA participates in the Parkland Softball League.  The Fall season is focused on player skill development.    Practices begin in mid-August.  Games begin the weekend after Labor Day and run through the end of October.
The success of the organization hinges on volunteer coaches.  Coaching is a rewarding activity and one your daughter’s will remember.  Even if you do not have any coaching experience, I am available as are others to help guide anyone.
We are fielding teams in the following divisions:
PREP:   Ages 8 and under.
10U:  Ages 9 and 10.  Increased focus on skill development and competitive games.  Players pitch, score is kept, and umpires officiate the games.  Games are played on a standard field with 60’ bases, pitch from 35’, and use a small size 11 softball.
12U:  Ages 11 and 12.  Increased focus on game strategy and mental awareness.  Players pitch, score is kept, and umpires officiate the games.  Players are able to steal any base, a size 12 softball is used, and pitchers pitch from 40’.
18U:  Ages 13-18.  Play on a regulation size softball field with pitchers pitching from 43’.
Practices begin mid-August and scheduled at the discretion of the coach.  A typical pre-season practice schedule consists of 2-3 practices per week.
SPYA provides a personalized softball jersey with the players name and number on it.
Parents are responsible to supply black softball pants, cleats, softball glove, softball helmet with face mask.  A softball bat is recommended for each player.  There are extra bats if needed.  A fielding facemark is recommenced as well.
Home games and practices are held at Springhouse Middle School.
Registration closes on August 14.  Teams will begin forming in August.  The registration link to TeamSnap will be posted on the SPYA website and softball Facebook page.  Please forward to those who are interested.
