The goal of the Midway Athletic Club is to provide a fun and safe environment for players to learn the fundamentals of softball. We thank you for your interest in participating!
Player Eligibility:
Participation is open to any registered player whose grouping is determined by their age on December 31, 2023. For example, a player who is 9 or 10 on December 31, 2023 will be in the 10U age grouping.
All decisions regarding whether a player may ‘play up’ into a higher age division is at the discretion of the Softball Director.
Players must be 5 years of age prior to September 1, 2024 in order to be eligible to play in the 2024 season in 6U.
Every child who registers will be placed on a team and a player evaluation and draft is held for age groups 8U and above.
Equipment:
All players are required to provide their own cleats, glove, helmet with face mask, and bat. A fielder's face mask is highly recommended.
Uniforms will be furnished by Midway Athletic Club and fittings will be done during Player Evaluations.
Coaching:
Any volunteers interested in coaching a team (including returning coaches - head coaches or assistants) must sign-up to volunteer during the player registration process.
Once selected, coaches will then complete a Forsyth County Background Check Form and complete the NYSCA Coaching Certification online.
All coach selections will be performed by the Midway Athletic Club Board after registration closes.
