It's that time already! Welcome to the 2020 softball season. Opening day was scheduled for Tuesday May 5, 2020. However, COVID19 set us back and it actually started July 14th. The season will continue through Friday October 9, 2020. Playing days remain as Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The season fee is payed this year directly to AHPD - $30.
In 2020, we will NOT be offering a $5.00 per day daily fee for drop in part time players.
Game cancellations for any reason can be checked after 8:00AM on game day at (847) 577-3003, choice #6. Email notices will also be sent to any ID's on record and our website will be updated on the header line - ONLY when cancellations occur. When in doubt if there is a game please check one of these options.
Throughout the course of the year we also need EVERYONE to participate in set up and take down of equipment - screens, scoreboards, etc. Daily volunteers will be sought. Please contribute to this effort.
The softball rules that we follow appear on this website. Refer to the Rules page to familiarize yourself.
If you encounter a medical issue during the season that you wish to share with your peers please advise someone on the committee and it will be released to all in a health status email as appropriate.
