Citrus Park 50+ Softball

The last men's softball ratings/re-ratings session until Fall will be Friday, March 31st, at noon on diamond 1.

Sign up sheets are still posted on the bulletin boards at both diamonds.

Remember that you have to be re-rated if:

- You are new to the league

- Re-rated due to injury or illness

- Re-rated due to a season or more of inactivity

Please note that you must be registered for the 2024 season to be rated. If you haven't registered yet, registrars will be available during one pitch in the 50/50 parking on field one and two to register Monday or Tuesday. The registration fee is $70 cash or check (US funds only). REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE; however, $50 of the registration fee can be carried over to the 2025 season if you choose not to play in 2024.

Contact Randy Pickersgill at 239-676-8443 with questions.

If you would still like to register for the 2024 women's softball season, come on over on Sunday, March 26th between 11 am and 2 pm to 25716 Lilac Ct. The cost is $70 if you register by April 1. $85 after April 1. If you can't register on Sunday, just give me a call at 810-845-5939 and we'll set up a time for you to register.

Thank you.

Diane Banyas, Registrar

There aren’t many 2023 registered players left to register for the 2024 season.

Just a reminder the fee in October is $85.

If you want to be on a team or reserves in 2024, you have until March 30th to register at the discounted rate of $70 (cash or check, US funds only).

We will be available during one pitch in between my games, so check for us on our cart in the 50/50 parking on field one and two to register Monday or Tuesday.

We don’t have any other registration days scheduled at this time until November.

Registrar

With injurious contact seemingly increasing on the bases your board will be introducing language for next year to mitigate these situations in the interest of safety. In the interim, to reduce these situations and encourage runners who chose not to slide the Board will be instructing our umpires to award the base to a runner that veers away to avoid contact that would have been safe (i.e. the fielder drops the ball or doesn’t step on the base). This measure is not only intended to incentivize runners to avoid upright contact but to fairly award the runner that would have been safe had he continued to the bag.
