The more competitive softball relates to windmill style (fastball) pitching and is considered ‘B’ level.

Evaluations will be conducted for most ages to determine placement at the B and C level and to balance team skill levels where there are multiple teams. Evaluations sessions will take place in late March and early April.
At Southdale we ensure that dedicated and qualified coaches are heading up each team so as to ensure enjoyment for all.
There are 16 teams registered with the Southdale Community Club in 2010. We finished the Bonivital plyoffs with teams capturing 3 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals.

Just a quick word about umpires, the following is a great reminder for us all to keep the game in perspective!
Hey Blue!!!
By Kacie Flinn
Umps have a hard job, I really must say.
They put up with a lot of stuff every single day.
There are coaches who yell, and players who curse.
And how many times have you heard this verse?
"Coach, I'm warning you, you better not shout,
Or else I just might have to kick you right out!"
Then there were calls that could go either way,
And both of the coaches had a lot to say.
"Oh come on, Blue! What are you, blind?
To say she was safe, you must have lost your mind!"
"Umpire! Umpire! How can you call that an out?
You better rethink that before I start to shout!"
They put up with back talk from coaches and fans,
Especially those annoying ones who yell from the stands.
If the ump gets to a play one second too late,
All the regular phrases are yelled about a bad call that was made.
"Hey ump, would you like to borrow my glasses?"
"Didn't they teach you anything during the umpire classes?"
They get spit in their faces, and dirt on their shoes,
All because of a call that made one team lose.
So the next time an umpire makes a slightly unfair call,
Think about what they go through, would you go through it all?

The Southdale Softball Program has adopted the following policies from the MSA, as our guide in running our program:
