Spring 2010 Registration is Open
Piedmont Girls Softball is pleased to announce the Opening of Registration for the upcoming 2010 Spring Season. In order to register, please either go to our website (www.piedmontsoftball.com) or that of our registration partner (www.sportability.com).
We look forward to seeing our young players continue to develop their softball skills while building friendships after a successful season last year.
Please be advised that registration officially closes December 18, 2009. There is a late fee of $30 assessed for registrants after December 18th, 2009—so please register your daughters early!
Once we have teams formed in late January, your daughter's coach will notify you of team placement. Also, around that time we will be hosting our first of multiple skill development clinics through the season, so be on the lookout for an announcement from us in January about our first clinic.
Softball & Pizza Clinic for kindergarten, 1st grade & 2nd grade GIRLS (bring your friends!)
Come join us on Sunday, November 8th! Time: 3-5pm Locations: Coaches Field, Moraga Avenue, Piedmont
Are you new to softball or 'graduating' from tee ball? Then this is an event not to be missed! We encourage all K-2 players, interested in finding out more about this fun sport, to come to our clinic on Nov. 8th at Coaches Field. The clinic will be run by Sharon Perkins, a talented coach from the Alameda Blaze tournament program, along with several PHS varsity softball players. We will offer fun drills, contests, and a little scrimmage play. Pizza and ice cream will be served at the end.
Please RSVP to Lisa Reynolds lisareynolds440@comcast.net if you plan to attend—this is a great preview to see if your daughters are interested in playing softball during the Spring 2010 season. Participation is free of charge.

ASA Affiliation
We are affiliated with the Amateur Softball Association of America, an organization that governs the sport for men and women of all ages. We play games between Piedmont teams and other communities affiliated with ASA such as teams from Oakland and Alameda.
The Amateur Softball Association (ASA), a volunteer driven, not-for-profit organization based in Oklahoma City, OK, was founded in 1933 and has evolved into the strongest softball organization in the country. The growth and development of the association led the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to name the ASA the National Governing Body of Softball, pursuant to the Amateur Sports Act of 1978.
The ASA has many important responsibilities as the national governing body of softball in the United States, including regulating competition to insure fairness and equal opportunity to the millions of player who annually play the sport.
The ASA has become one of the nation's largest and fastest growing sports organizations and now sanctions competition in every state through a network of 93 state and metro associations. The ASA has grown from a few hundred teams in the early days to over 250,000 teams today, representing a membership of more than four million.
