2025 In The Big Inning Softball

(Grades 7-Adult)

 

Registration:

• Individuals, couples, families and friends may register and will be assigned to teams together, upon request.
• Individuals can simply sign up and be randomly assigned to teams, no friend connections or requests are necessary. In fact, we need the individual players to enable us to create teams of 10 or 11.
• Registration cost is $75 per player, which includes a personalized jersey t-shirt, 6 regular season games, and a tournament.
• Registration deadline is June 9, 2025.

League Format:

• Recreational-competitive.
• Open to all skill levels/experience levels.
• 7-week season, Monday evenings only.
• Games only (no practices); approximately one hour 15 minutes each week.
• Game slot times will vary from week to week (5:30pm, 6:45pm).
• Season-ending tournament
• All games will be played at Immanuel Church.
• Players will use mitts and will need to bring their own (not provided).
• We have found a unique 12-inch softball, which has the softer consistency of a broken-in Chicago-style "mushball". We believe this makes the game safer for the wider array of ages participating while still allowing batters to solidly hit the ball.
• Adults (18 and older) will be allowed to pitch.
• Teams will be co-ed.
• Teams will field a 10-player lineup (standard 9 positions and a short-center fielder) and all ten will bat.
