The Timbits (U7) teams (ages 4-8) are mixed.

The U9 – U19 teams are not mixed; however in the U9 and U11 divisions there may be boys teams of the same age playing against girls teams of this same age group.  U13 – U15 boys may play against girls teams of a higher age level (U13 boys play against U15 girls; U15 boys play against U17 girls).  This is a Calgary Minor Softball Association decision to ensure there is competition available for the boys softball teams if there are not enough boys teams in any category.

* Please note that U9 & U11 will now be playing 1 hour and 30 minute games.

Coaches from each team (U9 – U19) will determine their own practice schedules. These are mandatory, and may be held on weekends or other weeknights when scheduled games aren’t being played. 

Yes. Games are scheduled by Calgary Minor Softball (CMSA) which is a city-wide organization, and includes surrounding areas. Visitor (away) games will be scheduled throughout the city and surrounding area.  Exception: U19 (Midget) teams play at Vista Heights for all games; practices to be held at Southfour diamonds.

Southfour has diamonds located at Nellie McClung School (2315 Palliser Drive SW), John Ware School (10020 19 Street SW), Brookpark Drive SW and down south in the community of Silverado.  Home games and practices may take place at any of these diamonds.  

Games are scheduled through CMSA and typically begin at 6:45pm.  Coaches will ask players to arrive 30-45 minutes prior to game time – this ensures players can warm up, stretch and be ready to start the game on time. Please ensure you arrive on time, so coaches can warm up and practice with the girls. 

All players U9 (Mite) through U19 (High School) are required to have their own batting helmet with cage, groin protection (Jill), black baseball pants, jerseys (provided by Southfour), ball glove, water bottle and hair elastics (long hair must be tied back).

Recommended optional items: cleats, mouth guard, knee slider, sliding shorts, batting gloves

As per a new rule with the CMSA, all pitchers of any age will now be required to wear a face mask or pitching mask. Please ensure the girls are aware of this.
