Register for the First (Annual?!) GBA Members Softball Tournament!
Saturday, October 5th at Murphy Park in Greenfield - 10 AM - 3 PM!
The GBA and GCC will be sponsoring a single elimination softball tournament on Saturday, October 5th at Murphy Park in Greenfield from 10:00am-3:00pm. Registration is requested by September 16th so we can order food, secure equipment.
We can host up to four teams (with up to 15 players on a roster). You can register as a small group, individual or a full team. We realize there are many small businesses without enough employees to field a full team so we can easily combine several businesses. If you are registering as a group you will pay all of your fees at the same time. To that end, ensure you know who you are signing up and have made arrangements to get payment from them. Feel free to also invite friends/family! For GBA members (and their employees) the registration fee is $10 per person and for non GBA members it is $15 per person. This includes lunch.
We are starting small this year, but hope to expand into a larger tournament next year. The goal is simply to have fun and connect in a friendly competition! Each team will be guaranteed two games. The winners of the first game will advance to the championship game. We would like to have as much gender balance as possible across teams. We will be using ASA rules and modified pitch. Modified pitch is somewhere between slow and fast and no windmill pitching is allowed. We will share rules in advance of the tournament!
In regards to equipment, everyone will need their own glove. We are working on getting some bats and catchers masks, but please reach out to us if you have equipment you can share with your team on that day.
We are also looking for volunteers to help staff the event. So if you want to come hang out but don't want to play and can help with registration and/or getting lunch please email Judy.
Please feel free to reach out to Judy Raper (raperj@gcc.mass.edu) or Matt Allen (mattallen@masshirefhwb.org) with any questions.
We will provide further details as we get closer to the event. Please register by Monday, September 16th at https://engage.gcc.
We look forward to seeing you on the field!
