U19 Softball
OVERVIEW
SCHEDULE & PLAYING SEASON
The softball season begins in very late April, weather permitting. Teams play two games per week, on Monday & Wednesday and usually practice an additional one day per week, at the coach’s discretion. Games do get rained out, and coaches try to schedule make-up games, typically on a weekend. So, some weeks you may play three games, or on unusual nights. Games begin at 7:00 p.m., but coaches want players to arrive 30-60 minutes early for a pre-game warm-up. Typically, U19 games are finished by around 9:00 p.m. Macdonald plays in the Winnipeg South West Youth Softball Association League. The league will finish play by mid July with the team’s option to participate in various weekend tournaments and provincials, with the registration fees to be paid by the team.
TEAM FORMATION
All of the communities in Macdonald combine to form B-League teams. We try to keep players on teams based out of their home town as much as possible. However, previous years’ registrations have resulted in only enough players for one team.
Equipment You Need to Provide
*If you are purchasing a bat, length and weight vary depending on size and strength of the player. Kahunaverse (formerly Home Run Sports), offers 10% off the regular price of bats to players from Macdonald Minor Ball. The staff will help guide you in the direction of best bat size for your child.
