1st & 2nd Grade
This program is for girls enrolled in 1st or 2nd grade during the current School Year, and will be held on
Tuesdays at 5:30pm, and
Saturday mornings at Wheelock School.
Games/clinics will be held Saturday mornings at 9:30am at the Wheelock Softball fields and will run for 90 minutes. We will also hold an optional skills development on Tuesday nights at 5:30pm at the Wheelock Softball Fields which will run for 60 minutes. All teams will play at the same time.
- Format: On Saturday’s, there will be a 45 minute skills clinic followed by a 2 inning game (coach pitch), and will end with a relay race around the bases. During the clinics, we will mix the players from the various teams to participate in hitting/fielding/throwing stations. When there is an opportunity to do so, we will introduce scrimmages against various surrounding towns for those that are interested (Medway, Millis etc).
- Equipment: Players are expected to have a helmet with a cage, a glove, and a bat is recommended but not required. Jerseys and hats will be provided. Girls are encouraged, but not required to wear softball pants. Cleats are not required (you can use cleats from other sports at this age). Coaches will have some shared equipment.
3rd through 9th Grade
MYBS participates in the MetroWest travel softball league in the Fall. In addition to home games, teams will play surrounding towns like Medway, Holliston, Ashland, Needham, Northboro/Southboro.
Historically the grades have followed this format for game schedules:
- Minors: grades 3/4, play Saturday at 4pm
- Majors: grades 5/6, play Sunday at 1pm
- Seniors: grades 7/8/9, play Sunday 3pm.
The season will run the week after Labor Day through the end of October. There will be no games on Columbus weekend.
We will use our Spring uniforms, if you do not have one or need a new one, please contact your grade coordinator.
Registration will close in early August because team submissions to the league are required by mid-August.
