How Does It Work?

It's 10 on 10, 6 men and 4 women on the field at all times, with 1 male extra hitter. It's modified arc (6-12 feet) and we keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our 3 or 4 divisions (Players, Sorta Players, Casual and Extremely Casual).

What’s the Cost and What’s Included?

Early/regular registration will open July 28 and close August 4/15 or earlier if the league sells out. We wish we had room for everyone but alas, that's NYC. The cost is $1250/1350 per team or $120/130 per individual. Rosters are generally 16-20 players (7-9 women and 9-11 men). ZogSports donates a percentage of our profit to charity.

Fee includes:

• 6 regular season games
• 50% of teams will make the heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament
• Field fees
• Professional umpires
• Individual teams - one t-shirt per person on the roster
• Full teams - can request to purchase shirts through ZogSports or provide their own shirts/uniforms with numbers
• Equipment - provided for individuals (except bats and gloves)
  
• Equipment - not included for full teams. Each team must supply a set of bases, one new softball per game, a catcher's mask and your own bats, etc. We will arrange for the purchase of the required equipment for each team upon request.
• "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
• League administration
• Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the games

When Does it Start and When Are the Games?

The league starts September 3rd. Games will be on Sunday afternoon and Sunday-Fridays evenings. Games on Sunday will be from 12-10.  During the week it will be between 5:30 and 10:30. Because some of the fields we will be using are not lit and we need to play when the sun is shining, teams should expect to have a handful of their games at early times.

Where Are We Playing?

All games will be played in great locations including:

• Colonel Charles Young (144th and Lennox)
• Murry Bergtraum High School (Cherry and Market)
• Riverbank State Park (138th and Riverside Drive)
• Riverside Park #7/8 (148th and Riverside Drive)
• Roosevelt Island (Pony, Capobianco and Firefighters)

Levels of Play

• Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
• Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social and laid back.
• Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.
• Extremely Casual Division - this is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.
