Twinsburg Youth Softball League
The goal of the Twinsburg Youth Softball League (TYSL) is to provide Twinsburg schools system girls with an opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of softball. We recognize that individual youths have different objectives. Some want to have pure recreational fun while others are more interested in improving skills to prepare for school programs. The league attempts to satisfy both objectives. As such, we offer four programs.
Slow Pitch (local to Twinsburg)
This is a recreational program for girls currently in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The girls will typically play two games per week, one on Saturday and one during the week. The season begins in mid-May and is finished by the July 4th holiday. The makeup of the divisions is as follows:
Instructional: Kindergarten and 1st grade (coach pitch - advanced 1st graders can move up)
Division 1: 2nd and 3rd grades (coach pitch - advanced 3rd graders can move up)
Division 2: 4th & 5th grades (kid pitch)
Recreational Fast Pitch (local travel to neighboring communities)
This is a travel program for girls ages 11 - 18. The girls will be playing teams from other communities in our area. There are usually 2 games per week, one in Twinsburg. The makeup of the divisions will be: Ages: 13-14; 11-12.
Competitive Fast Pitch (local travel to neighboring communities)
This program is for more serious players. Many of the area communities (8 - 10) have put together one competitive 18, 14, 12 and 10 & under team. TYSL will enter one team in each division this year. Tryouts are held for the competitive teams in the fall.
Tryouts: Competitive Fast Pitch Tryouts will be held on Sunday, September 23, 2007 at Glenmeadow Park Fields #2 and #3, 10u and 14u from 1:00 pm. to 3:00 pm., and 12u from 3:00 pm. to 5:00 pm. Please bring mitts, bats and any other equipment that you might need. These try-outs have been designed to pre-select competitive teams for the 2008 season and to give coaches a chance to work with their players during the "off" season. This will also give TYSL players the ability to practice their softball skills during the winter at indoor facilities, to prepare them for the 2008 season.
A second Competitive Fast Pitch Tryout for those unable to attend the first date will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2007 at Glenmeadow Park during the same time periods as denoted above.
Recreational High School Slow Pitch – grades 9-12 (new for 2008)
This is a recreational program for high school girls in grades 9-12. TYSL is looking to place at least 1 team in the Nordonia - Hudson league which has been operating for several years. Games will be played in all three communities.
