The Carmel High School softball staff will be conducting a softball clinic for girls in grades K – 6 on Saturday, March 20. The clinic will be held in the CHS Fieldhouse from 9:30 AM – 12 PM. Please CLICK HERE for more information and the Registration Form.
The House League will be returning to the Cherry Tree Softball Complex in the Spring of 2010.
The Lady Hounds Softball Clinic will be held on March 20th at the Field House.
Practices for the rec league will commence during March and continue through April.
At this time, a large portion of the rec league softball facilities at the Cherry Tree Complex have not been completed.
It is therefore impossible to identify where all of the practices and games will be held.
Traditionally, the rec leauge would expect to play the majority of its games at the Cherry Tree Facility.
It may be necessary to utilize other facilites until such time as the Cherry Tree Complex has been completed.
Those facilities have yet to be identified.
This year the opening weekend will be May 1st and May 2nd for players in 6U through 12U.
This group should expect to play through June 12, 2009.
The Middle School and High School League, 14U through 18U, will open on June 1st.
This group should expect to play through July 8th.
The Lady Grey Hound Clinic is scheduled for 20 March 2010 at Carmel High School. The link near the top of this page will provide you with additonal information on this important clinic.
Coaches will receive their equipment on 27 March at Badger Field.
Additional instructions will be provided to the coaches and posted on this website before that date.

Fast-pitch softball is offered for girls in preschool through high school. The goal of CDC Softball is to provide a positive, fun filled experience for the young ladies, while teaching the fundamentals of softball. In order to help the girls with their softball skills we have several clinics throughout the season, which are both fun and instructional.
Most of the games in 2010 are expected to be played at the Cherry Tree Facility if that facility has been completed and is available. Practices will be held at River Road Park and potentially other locations yet to be determined. The uncertainty is due to the fact that the rec league diamonds are the Cherry Tree Facility have not yet been completed and may not be completed in time for the start of practices.
The Dads' Club will supply each player a shirt, and socks for the uniform. You must purchase white baseball pants, a mouthpiece and a fielding glove. Cleats are optional. The Dads' Club will provide bats, softballs, batting helmets and catchers equipment for practices and games. Each age level is grouped to provide the best opportunity for age appropriate instruction.
