2016 Spring Recreation Season Registration Now Open Until January 11

Registration for the SGSL Spring 2016 Recreational Season is now open for all divisions. Registration will be open until January 11th, 2016, anyone who registers after this date will be wait-listed and not guaranteed to be placed on a team. Wait-listed players will be added on a first-come, first-serve basis, only when the league has confirmed such players will complete the expected number of teams or there are enough players to add an additional team.

* Early Registration Incentives.  

– All players who register by December 1st will be entered for a chance to win a new Composite bat.  The drawing will take place at Opening Day ceremonies.  Last years winner received a 2015 Demarini CF7 bat, a $250 value, which was ordered to her size specifications.  So register by December 1st and perhaps this year we will be calling your players name.

– All AAA, AAAA and AAAAA/14U players who register by December 15th will be eligible to participate in our free winter hitting groups.  Last year the groups met once per week at All Star Academy in Santa Clara for a one hour hitting session led by their coaching staff.

* Notable Changes for 2016 Season

– The Snack Shack buyout, which a large percentage of the 2015 registrants opted for in 2015 is included in the 2016 registration fee.  If you opt to work a snack shack shift, the buyout refunds will be processed within a couple weeks of the shift being worked.

– The AAAAA/14U Division is a new venture for SGSL. In conjunction with other local leagues Campbell Girls Fastpitch and Los Gatos-Saratoga-Cupertino girls softball, we will be offering a 14U division comprised of players and coaches from all three leagues.  More information on this division will be sent out to the families who have players that are league age eligible to participate in the 14U/AAAAA Division.
