SOFTBALL 2025 INFORMATION
Upcoming Key Dates:
SCRI Youth Softball Night is scheduled Tuesday, April 29th at the High School Varsity game vs. Clinton Central 5:00pm.
Hamburger Fry is scheduled Saturday, May 10th (Mother's Day weekend). This is a SCRI annual tradition and fundraiser with all Sheridan softball, baseball, and t-ball teams playing at home this day. We will also try to schedule pictures this day.
End of season tournament - Will be held weeknights Monday, June 9- Friday, June 13.(8u- Westfield, 10u- Cicero/Arcadia, 12u- Lapel). Single elimination tournament.
Alliance (Rec+ / Sunday Showcase) and All-Stars:
Alliance and All-Stars provide a higher level of competition to players. Both will be offered for 8u-14u based on interest and skill level. Players that play Alliance are not required or guaranteed to play All Stars (and vice-versa).
Alliance offers have been sent to players.
All-Star tournaments start in June and SCRI will support 1-2 tournaments before July 6. Note: This cut off allows for player involvment in 4-H and other summer activities prior to the start of the school year.
A separate evaluation will be held later in the season to allow for player development. Costs will also be determined at that time. The tournament cost for All-Stars can be expensive (average $200 per team per tournament), but SCRI is normally able to cover most of these costs with sponsorships. Transportation is required.
