2024 WYSO Softball
This registration is intended for all girls interested in playing 8u machine pitch through High School (14U) Recreational Softball. These teams are involved in league play that involves some travel.
For 2024 we have decided to suspend the skills group and move those players right into machine pitch for learning purposes and to continue to move the softball program forward.. If you have concerns about this please reach out to Roxy.
The fee for 2024 is increased by $10 to a total cost of $75.00. The reason for this increase is the cost of additional tournaments that WYSO will be providing for the softball teams.
