Nicolet Rec Dept Offering a Youth Softball League

Our two co-ed youth leagues cover boys and girls from 1st through 4th grade. Beginners at all age levels have learned the sport quickly, gained personal confidence, and made meaningful contributions to their teams! Experienced multi-sport athletes playing spring soccer, lacrosse, fast pitch softball and even Little League have participated in two sports because of our league’s low time commitment of only 1-3 hours per week, its affordability, and team roster sizes that allow for occasional conflicts.

Players are assigned to teams randomly, but we honor and encourage requests to be paired with other friends to help with car-pooling and to make it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the kids. Teams are run by volunteer parents with a passion for teaching the game to young people. There are no rules with regard to how many boys or girls are on each team’s roster or in the field of play at any given time, but efforts are made to maintain competitive integrity. Managers ensure that all players receive an ample amount of playing time regardless of ability. Games are umpired by adult recreation staff, and the season will conclude by July 31st. We will be offering two leagues, Parent Pitch (1st-2nd grade) as well as a Junior League (3rd-4th grade). The Parent Pitch league will use a “squishy” softball and have parents/coaches pitch, while the Jr League will use a 10” softball and have players pitch. In the Junior League scores and league standings are kept. Games will be played on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Depending on registration numbers, If necessary, the two leagues may be combined into a single 1st-4th grade league. In this event, rules may be adapted to fit all ages appropriately.
