About the Event

We’ve confirmed final availability though Parks & Rec. to have the Taylor MS field.  Our reserved times are Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30-8:30.  The reservation for St. James will run from this Monday June 20 through Wednesday August 3.  

Warm ups to begin at 5:30pm each day and practices/scrimmages/games will begin at 6:00pm

Here's some softball team general info:

-Team is coed and players need to be age 14+.  This is slow-pitch softball; underhand pitch with an arc to the plate.

-NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!  Several of us have been coaches before and we'd love to help you learn the game.

-We have extra equipment but it is recommended that you invest in a softball glove if you are with us for the long run.  Dick's Sporting Goods in Gainesville or Rankins in town normally has a variety in stock.  Bring an aluminium bat if you have a favorite or use one of ours.  If you want to be speedy on the base paths, grab a pair of cleats as well (no metal cleats though).

-Games are played as 1-hour double-headers, starting at 6:15pm and the second starting as close to 7:15pm as possible.  If you cannot make the first game, come on by and we'll sub you in on the second.

-Everyone plays both on the field and batting - no designated hitters.

-We have a strike mat that 'calls' balls and strikes - no umpires.

-It's all about having fun and fellowship - many of us adjourn to Foster's Grille in Warrenton for a post-game wrap up.


Lastly, who's ready to shake off some rust?  The Taylor Middle School field  should be ready to play on Monday night (June 20).  Mike and I expect to be at the field early to prep for practice.  


Practice will begin at 6:00 so grab your glove and bat and we'll see you at the Taylor field on Wednesday!


Taylor Middle School in Warrenton (350 E Shirley Ave, Warrenton, VA 20186)

We selected this field as there is a large playground in the far outfield for  young children and adults to play while the game is ongoing.
