No, unfortunately this is not permitted by SMSL. U6-U10 is considered non-competitive as scores are not kept during games.

6. Will the U6-U10 teams be co-ed?
The Blastball U6 can be co-ed, depending on the number of players registered. Rookie U8 and Mites U10 have a girls team and a boys team.

Players need running shoes, a ball glove, comfortable clothing and a water bottle. Team shirts are provided for Kinderball and Blastball U6. Team jerseys and pants are provided for Rookie U8 and Mites U10.

8. Can I coach? What training do I need to coach?
Yes! We are always in need of coaches. In fact, if a parent on your child’s team does not step up to coach, your child will not be able to play. There is a mandatory coaches clinic that you will be required to attend, which is of no cost to you. This usually occurs in April before the season starts.

9. I can’t coach – how else can I help?
You can help as a team manager or an equipment manager. Another option is to consider signing up as the softball coordinator. Contact anyone on the WUHCA board if you are interested.
