THE PROGRAM:
There are two elements to the Parkville's softball program. The Parkville Girl's Softball Teams and the Parkville "Down & Dirty Fast Pitch" girl's softball league.

Parkville's "Down & Dirty Fast Pitch" Girl's Softball League is modeled after the Girl's Catholic High School Athletic Association Softball League (GCHSAA) and Public School Athletic League (PSAL). We play the same style of fast pitch softball, with the same rules, in both the Junior Varsity and Varsity Divisions, with exception in our 8 & under division. Our goals are to have fun and prepare girls for high school & college participation in that order. At Parkville everybody plays ball !

Parkville's Girls Softball Teams Eligibility:
Girls between the ages of seven & eighteen are permitted to participate in Parkville's Girls softball teams. Girls five & six are encouraged to play in the baseball Pee Wee league. The teams are divided by division in various age groups.

Junior Varsity Division - 8 to12 years old
Varsity Division - 13 to 18 years old
Collegiate Division - 18 years and over (not presently active)

Clinics:
Clinics are designed to instruct and develop the players talents in the fundamentals of playing softball. Throwing, catching, running, hitting, sliding, bunting, stealing bases, the dropped third strike, as well as the general knowledge of the game are emphasized. Our clinics are held in Shallow J. H. S. on 16 Avenue &65 Street.Saturdays from 11 AM to 3 PM.

Regular Season Play:
Our regular season begins the second weekend in April and ends the second weekend in June. Two and sometimes three league games are scheduled each week, on the weekends, and at least one practice. The scheduling of practices is at the discretion of the team managers. Every Parkville player is entitled to play an average of three and a half innings per game.

Parkville Softball Tournament :
After our regular season of play, a double elimination tournament is conducted in the Parkville league and all Parkville teams are eligible to compete against all the other teams in the Parkville league.

Summer Tournament Teams:
All girls that play on a Parkville team or a team from another organization that plays in the Parkville league is eligible to tryout for a summer tournament team. The cost to participate, if you are accepted, is determined by number of players on the team. Parkville will administer the tournament teams activities through their Softball Director. They will also support by providing medical insurance and equipment.

Awards Dinner:
Junior Varsity teams receive their awards with the inhouse programs on the field.

In September an awards dinner is held to honor all Parkville Varsity softball players. Every player receives a trophy and a full course dinner. A DJ is provided for your dancing pleasure depending on availability. Every player receives a ticket to dinner, at no cost, as part of our program. Tickets for parents, relatives and friends are $20.00 per person.

Introducing A New Girl’s Softball Program - Ages: 8 & under

Parkville Youth Organization In-house Softball Program

Parkville will be starting a new girl’s softball program for girls 8 & under. It will be a strictly instructional, in-house program designed to teach all the softball basics and to have FUN. We think there is too much stress on our children and we don’t want to add to it.

· High school softball coaches will manage the program.
· All Players will practice together.
· All Players will have the same uniform with a reversal top.
· Teams will be formed at each game to insure equality of the teams.
· All games and practices will be held on the PYO field.
· Every girl plays every game.

Parkville acknowledges the need for a program that will develop girls to be Fastpitch Softball players. We feel by removing the competitive edge at the age of 8 & under the girls will be more incline to learn the game at a quicker pace. This will enable them to enjoy the game and increase their passion for it.
If you are interested or require more information call Peter DeMauro 1-718-266-2133.
He will be happy to answer any of your questions.
