Y Adult Softball


Beginning this spring in April, an estimated 1,800 adult softball players will participate in YMCA Softball this year, with leagues for every level of play. 

The YMCA has managed this program at the well-groomed and beautiful fields of the Grand Traverse County Civic Center for the past 41 years.  Games are played Sunday through Friday evenings, including later games under the lights.  It is the YMCA's philosophy "everybody plays, everybody wins" so there are several leagues for different levels of competition. 

Adult Men’s League plays Monday through Friday evenings, with the “Senior” League playing Monday’s, “B” League Thursday’s, “C” League Tuesdays and “D” League Wednesdays & Fridays.    Registration runs from March 1st – March 31st, 2012.   Space is limited.  Just like the big leagues, the teams play under the lights each night.

The YMCA offers Sunday, Monday, and Friday evening Co-ed Softball Leagues, as the demand has been so great.  Sunday co-ed alone can accommodate 24 teams and Monday and Friday leagues can take 9 teams. Husbands and wives, business co-workers, or just a group of friends may make up any one team.  Registration period runs from March 1-March 31.

Y Women’s Softball Leagues plays Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.   Registration deadline for the women’s league is April 16. When the women graduate from high school or college softball, we offer this league to keep their playing days going.    “There is such a deep history of softball in our region that is truly remarkable,” according to Barb Beckett, Softball League Director.
