Recreational softball Information
Spring season is the most popular time of the year for softball! Over 250 girls participate in BHGS softball in Spring. All girls are assigned to a team and get playing time, regardless of physical ability, skill level, or financial situation*. The rules and coaching are adjusted based on age level, so everyone has fun. Girls as young as four years old really can play softball. Please register your player.
- Balance is due when the season begins March 16. (fully refundable if we do not have a season)
- Register your player in the age appropriate division.
- If you are unsure of the appropriate division for your player, please look here or contact us.

Included in Registration (6u-12U)
- Seasonal fee includes jersey, socks, yearbook, trophy, visors (6U only) and photo
- Free skills clinics are held before the season starts and mid-season (Register early to receive notification, they fill up fast!)
Gear Requirements (6U-12U)
- Required gear to be purchased by family includes softball mitt, pants, slider shorts and cleats(10U-12U).
- Highly recommended gear includes a batting helmet with face-mask. The league has a few helmets, but they are shared. Infield safety masks.
- Optional gear to be purchased by family includes batting gloves, belt, bat.
- The league is open to all girls, regardless of financial situation. We typically host a Recycled Equipment Table at the beginning of the season. Please contact someone on the board if equipment costs are prohibitive for your family. We will find a way to discreetly get your daughter geared up.
Additional Costs and Family Commitments (6U-12U)
- End of season celebration / Coaches gifts - Some teams opt to have a year-end celebration party and/or collect donations for coaches' gifts. These are optional fees, usually $10 to $30 per player.
- Team Sponsor - Everyone on the team is expected to help find a team sponsor, a company that donates at least $300 for the season. Typically, sponsorship comes from a local business, team business owner, or corporate sponsors. The sponsor's logo is included on the team page in the yearbook. Although the league is dependent on sponsorships to operate (and keep fees low), families are never expected to "chip in" to cover this sponsorship if the team can't find a business to contribute.
- Snack Shack - Parents are required to volunteer in the Snack Shack. Games and practices will not begin until the Snack Shack has the necessary number of volunteers. The Snack Shack Coordinator works with the Team Managers at the beginning of the season to coordinate shifts.
- Parent involvement - It’s our experience that your daughter will appreciate and benefit enormously from your involvement, and we highly encourage you to attend your daughter’s practices, games and related softball team activities. In addition, most Coaches and Managers appreciate any extra help they can get so please volunteer to help at practices, games or in team support positions. Don’t worry if you “know nothing about softball”- every parent has something to offer.
Parent Participation
BHGS is 100% volunteer-based organization. From the board to the coaches, all are volunteers. We cannot exist without your help.
