Please click on the link at the top of this page, labeled "Registration", to sign up for the fall season of D1 softball. We will play at Saddlebrook and the season dates are September 2 through December 11, though exact game dates will be determined by the Board after registration ends on July 22. Please note that due to the necessity of creating a schedule, choosing managers, determining the number of teams, etc., this is a hard deadline. So register now. The draft will be held on Monday August 3 at the Fish Hawk recreational center at 6:00 pm.

Dave Fortier Elected to the Board
In an exceptionally close vote, Dave Fortier (51%) was chosen to fill the spot on the D1 board vacated by Hank Culley's resignation. He assumes the remainder of Hank's term, which expires at the end of 2027.
I want to thank Dave Sanders (47%) and Chris Schubert for running. It may sound like a cliche, but the truth is this league cannot run without volunteers, and Mr. Sanders and Mr. Schubert do a lot for our league, with managing, umpiring and working with new players at evals as they come into our league.
This was a special election, but we will have the regular annual election in the fall. 3 spots are at stake, currently held by Dan Shelley, Jan Held and Mike Ford.
Thanks to Dave, Dave and Chris and thank you to the voters. We had a very high voter turnout. 93% of the eligible voters cast a vote.
