• 8U games are played one night a week and the team will participate in 2-3 tournaments throughout the season. Historically, 8U practices/plays on Monday and Wednesday evenings.

All players will need to submit sizes for their uniforms at tryouts or during registration.

We usually require players to try on jerseys and pants to get accurate sizing. Samples will be available to try on. If you are not comfortable trying on the samples, you may choose your sizes based on looking at the samples or by comparing to past uniforms you may have at home. Players will also need to know their shoe size at tryouts for sock orders. 

We will be limited in our ability to exchange sizes once uniforms are ordered.

The summer uniform kit includes: jersey, pants, belt and socks. Additional items may be purchased during registration.

Players should purchase: a softball bag, softball helmet with face guard, a fielding mask, glove, bat and cleats (molded).
