The Central Plumas Recreation and Park District has started its preseason planning and sign-ups for the 2011 Adult Softball season. Scheduled practices will begin Monday, April 11th, and will continue throughout the month of April. Softball league games are tentatively scheduled to commence on Monday, May 9th. Teams are currently being formed during the pre-season and practice period. All games will be played on weekday evenings at either Gansner Park or the ball fields at Feather River College. The Adult Softball League is divided into four divisions: men’s division, two co-ed divisions (an upper and a lower), and one women’s division.

“We would like to encourage new players and teams from around the area to come out and participate this season. Adult softball is a great way to spend time with friends, family, and co-workers, in an environment that promotes physical and social well-being”, stated Recreation and Park District sports and recreation coordinator, Jeren Seibel. In addition, the Recreation District is seeking individuals interested in umpiring for the league. Training will be provided. “Being an umpire over the summer is a great way to get connected with the community, make some money, and have fun”, said Seibel. Anyone interested in becoming an umpire is encouraged to contact the Recreation and Park District.

New players that would like to get connected with a team or individuals interested in forming a new team are invited to contact the Recreation District at 283-3278 or 34 Fairground Rd. in Quincy. Returning players for all divisions are encouraged to sign up promptly through their team manager.
