Jenkintown Abington Spring Softball Program 2023
REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR 2023 IS OPEN!
Hello JA Softball & JYA Families!
Registration for our Spring 2023 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. This league is typically filled with players who do not play travel softball; beginners are always welcome! This league puts an emphasis on playing fair and following the rules, the conduct of our coaches and players should reflect that.
As always, I continue to stress the importance of our volunteer coaches. Our softball program would not be possible without you! 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. We will also have a mandatory coaches’ meeting where we will discuss league rules, draft teams, and distribute uniforms and equipment. More to come…
This season we will not be accepting requests for a specific coach or team, barring the need to have your player be with one other player for carpool purposes. These requests should be made no later than Friday, February 17th. Volunteer Coaches will be meeting to select teams toward the end of February/beginning of March. Registration will be closing Friday, March 10th.
Lastly, Equipment:
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 (no metal spikes allowed under any circumstance)
Additional equipment suggested for your athlete- sliding pants, batting gloves, a personal bat, a personal helmet, and a face mask for any infield athlete that desires one.
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,
JA Softball
