Summary:
First night of summer league is May 3rd! Schedules are posted and are current. Please refer to the schedule posted on the website each week to cover any changes that may take place.
Congrats to Dynamic 605 for winning the drawing held for teams that were present at every meeting. Enjoy your new hardware!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your best to be respectful to umpires and volunteers. Unfortunately, umpire numbers are declining and without them we would not be able to have fun, competitive games. Let's make women's league something they look forward to each week.
If you are not on a team but would like to play this summer, please fill out the 2021 Free Agent Sign Up form. If your team is in need of players, please contact us at sfwomenslowpitch@gmail.com.
