What to expect?
Athletes must register at myathletics.com to attend tryouts. Please note, there will be a $44 non-refundable tryout fee.
Mudsock Youth Softball teams participate against other All-Star league teams much like the regular REC league program. Teams typically practice once a week through the winter.
- Teams are formed in September.
- Teams play Spring Alliance and end with Summer All Star Tournaments.
- Coaches are given catcher's gear and heart guard for team use.
- Parent information Q and A meeting will be held August 13th at 6:00pm at the Olio Field Concession stand.
- Coaches are volunteers and will be selected via interview process.
Costs:
The cost is $44 per player to register. This fee is a tryout fee that covers insurance and administrative fees for the Mudsock Youth Athletics program. Upon accepting a spot on a roster, a $100 deposit will be collected. Those funds will be provided to the team to start a fund to help pay for use of indoor facility, uniforms and games. Additional funds may be needed and will be communicated by coaches as teams are self-funded. The costs to run an All-Stars team (year-round) typically costs between $5000-$6000 PER TEAM. This usually correlates to less than $500 per player, and can be offset with fundraising.
Provided by league:
Mudsock Youth Softball will defray the cost of the rental fee for the indoor facility during winter months and will provide insurance overage for players, coaches and certificate required for outside tournaments and facilities. Players will be required to have a glove, bat, batting helmet, and facemask for infield play. The league will provide catcher's gear and other basic equipment at the indoor facility.
Refund Policy:
Refunds are subject to MYA Policy. The tryout fee ($44) is non-refundable.
