Jenkintown Abington Spring Softball Program 2022
REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR 2022!
Hello JA Softball & JYA Families!
Registration for our Spring 2022 Softball program is officially open! We will be fielding teams from U8 up to U18. We will be competing in the Inter-Community Girls Softball League.
We are opening registration early for several reasons:
First, to stress the importance of our volunteer coaches, without whom, our softball program would not be possible. We will need at least one volunteer to step up as a head coach, though two or three coaches per team is ideal. You will have the opportunity to volunteer as a coach during the registration process. As the season gets closer, I will run a 1-day coaches’ clinic for volunteers. This will give you an idea of drills/skills to teach. My aim is to set you all up for success and show you what a rewarding experience coaching can be. We will also have a mandatory coaches’ meeting where we will discuss rules, COVID-19 protocols, draft teams, and distribute uniforms and equipment. More to come…
Next, during your registration process, you will be asked about uniform sizing. It is important you remember to make note of the size you ordered as this is the size your athlete will get. Due to covid related supply chain issues, we may encounter issues if we need to reorder any uniforms due to sizing issues. We would like to be as prepared as possible in our initial order.
Lastly, provide you an opportunity to get your athlete the equipment they need:
JA Softball provides shared catchers gear, helmets, and we do have bats available for use. Your athlete should come prepared with their own softball glove and cleats.
Additional equipment suggested for your athlete- sliding pants, batting gloves, a personal bat, and a personal helmet.
Here is a link for a guide to buying a softball bat for your child.
Should you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. My contact information is below.
Looking forward to a great season!
Thanks,
Jessica Sanchez
