2011 Board

MGSL has 5 age divisions; 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. 

Our league is recreational in nature and provides skill based league play for girls of all ability levels.  Our season usually runs 10 – 14 games long depending on field availability, weather, enrollment numbers, etc; we typically schedule two games for each team weekly during the regular season.  We use the many Sylvan District School baseball diamonds for both practices and games. 

Also we are always looking for volunteers to help us on the board; if interested please send an email to modestogirlssoftball@yahoo.com, and you too can help us shape the league not only for this season, but for many seasons to come.

 2010 TEAM PLACEMENT PROCEDURES:

8U teams will be formed geographically, based on school attended to the extent possible.  Late registrants will be placed on a waiting list and will be assigned to a team, if possible, based on the needs of the league.

All teams 10U and older will be formed by a player draft process in which coaches will rate players during player evaluation sessions. You may request a preferred coach. Each coach will be allowed to pick a maximum of 5 players that do not have to draft nor participate in evaluation. These players are chosen at the coach’s discretion.  ALL PLAYERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN AN EVALUATION SESSION WILL BE PLACED ON A TEAM.   Players who do not participate in an evaluation session will be placed on a team based on the needs of the league unless they have been excluded do to coach pick.  Late registrants will be placed on a waiting list and will be assigned to a team, if possible, based on league needs.  Coaches who do not attend the player evaluation sessions will have their teams drafted for them by uninvolved MGSL Board Members or volunteers.  The draft will be confidential.  PLAYERS AND NON-COACHING PARENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THE DRAFT.

Practice and game schedules will be available in March from your coach. All players, including 8U players, will be notified of their team assignments by the coaches in March. There are usually two games per week: One weekday at 5:30 p.m. and each Saturday.  The season is March to June.
