    Our veteran players will coach you.

​

Q: Where do the games take place? 

A:  We play at the same diamond every week, so you'll always know where you are going! Check out

     the location on our Schedule page.

​

Q: What type of pitching is it?

    and pitchers throw to their own team.

​

Q: Can I be on a team with my friend or spouse?

A: Yes! (Unless you want a break from your spouse.) On the registration form, you can request to     

    play with up to three other friends or relatives. 

​

Q: Can I register a team?

A: Sorry, unfortunately we don't accept team registrations. When putting the teams together, we

    carefully consider the skill level of all players, so that each team has a mix of newbies and

    veterans. We do this to keep the competition fair and friendly.

​

Q: Will I be on the same team every year?

A: Every two years, we shake up the teams. Being on a new team every two years gives you a

    chance to make new connections. It also helps keep our games more friendly than competitive

    because friends are playing against friends.

​

Q: Do I need to bring my own bat?

A: If you have one, by all means bring it. If you don't, no worries! We supply all the equipment

    except for a glove.
