The Softball “Select” Program is a great chance for experienced players to take their game to the next level. It’s all about playing at a more competitive level and continuing to build your softball skills. Players are chosen for Select based on how they play, their attitude, effort, and overall sportsmanship. Teams will be picked after evaluations, looking not just at performance, but also things like hustle, coachability, and being a good teammate.

Per USA Softball rules, Select can only convene once a week for either practice or friendly/tournament play. Select participation is in addition to regular team participation and will not conflict with the regular season.

The cost of Select is not sponsored by the league and will require a participation fee. Select will also require some travel to neighboring fields.

The objective of the Select Program is to field competitive teams. Positions and playing time will be determined by the Manager and based upon performance, effectiveness, and effort level. 

Players who participate on Select Teams are not guaranteed selection onto their respective All-Star teams or future Select teams. As well as those who have been on previous Select teams are not guaranteed a spot on a current Select team.

A player is ineligible for Spring Select if she has participated in any Travel activity (including but not limited to tryout, practices, and games) on or after January 1st. A player is ineligible for Fall Select if she has participated in any Travel activity (including but not limited to tryout, practices, and games) on or after August 31st.
