Softball Age Waiver

It is the policy of the Mudsock Youth Softball League that kids are not to play up or down an age group for the safety and enjoyment of the child and other children in the program. In the event that a parent believes that their child is developmentally at a competitive level above or below that of his/her age group and that it is in the best interest of the child and our program that that child play up or down an age group, Mudsock Youth Softball will grant such a request with the parent taking full responsibility for this decision and signing the waiver below.
