Spring Softball

Spring Softball is offered to girls ages 5-15 years of age as of May 1st of the current year. The leagues break down as follows:

In the Altavista Dixie Softball League, the sports office will provide each player with a team hat, jersey and socks. Players must have a glove, baseball pants (grey is preferred, however, check with your child's coach first) and rubber spiked cleats. Glove size should be 11 to 12 inches and should not be grey or white in color. Bats, balls and team helmets will be provided. Players may use their own helmets; however, they must have a properly-secured face mask attached. Additional rules regarding equipment can be found at www.dixie.org or by contacting the sports office.
