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.
