Recreational Tee-Ball and Softball is gearing up for another season of fun. This is a parent-lead, rural softball program is aimed at teaching the fundamentals of the sport. Much like minor hockey, coaches come from the parent/grandparent group of the kids registered. Josephburg Ag Society has invested in new equipment recently and are happy to provide the basic structure to the program with coordinators to organize the teams.
Josephburg has excellent shale ball diamonds, a great place to learn and grow your player’s interest in softball.
Tee-Ball – Ages 3 to 5
Softball – Ages 6 to 16
You need a ball glove, a good pair of runners and not-your-best t-shirt to start. We will have t-shirts and ball caps for the kids on order. We have bats, bases, limited helmets and balls.
**HELMET UPDATE AS OF MAY 2, 2022 – if you have a ball helmet, please bring it (not a bike/horse helmet or similar). We have a limited number of ball helmets. They are in short supply right now so this is a bit of a transition year while we encourage participants to bring their own while providing what we can.
