SUB J: 1997 Fall Softball Evaluation
The fall softball season completed play on Tuesday, September 30. Six teams played for 6 weeks
and were guaranteed 12 games. The teams were generally happy with the fall softball league, with
the exception of lack of teams. The issue of eligibility keeps recurring. Our fall and summer
leagues are currently stagnant because we can't attract new teams with our current eligibility
requirements. I'm concerned that if this problem isn't addressed, our leagues will Ibid.
During the fall softball season, there is more opportunity to expand the league because of less
pressure from various organizations for use of our ball fields. This year, a football and a soccer
field were made on existing softball/%aseball fields. I am sure that the youth groups will be
requesting these fields again next year, and in my opinion, we have room to accommodate the youth
associations and an expanded fall softball league.
With an expanded fall lea[me, our quality of competition will increase, as will revenues for next
season.
