Dear parents and/or guardians: February 1, 2020 Welcome to the 2020 ROMSA softball season! Online registration is NOW OPEN. Registering online is quick with only 3 easy steps. You can register by hitting up the “online registration” link in the right sidebar (pssst! It’s over there –>>>) and register before midnight on Saturday, March 7, 2020 to receive your early bird discount. It’s important to note that levels do fill up very quickly so registering early will avoid the disappointment of being turned away. The website also has a lot of information that may be of interest to you. Please note that we are no longer holding walk-in registration nights. The system emails you a registration form at the end of the process as a kind of confirmation. You do NOT need to send it to us. We’re trying to be eco friendly 🙂 IMPORTANT!!! All players (from U10 to U16 only) must supply their own batting helmets with face masks. Executive positions are available and will need to be filled as some of the present executives tenure will soon be coming to an end. If you are interested in joining our executive committee, please contact Lucie Dunbar at registrar.romsa@gmail.com. Lastly, please consider sponsoring a team. Visit our website and complete the sponsor section of the registration page. We look forward to another great softball season. Now, let’s play ball!!

— courtesy of Spencer Leptick who coached the ROMSA 1 Girls Mites team in 2018: For a few quick notes… The team had a blast! We had nearly half the team as new players and it was great to see them all learn and improve as the season went on. Our returning players really helped the new players and improved their own play a lot. We had our best two games of the season on elimination day of the year-end tournament – 2 big wins that helped them get to the semi-finals. The girls went wild as we got the last out of the second game – what fun! The tournament along with a couple off-field team get-togethers really helped solidify friendships and will bring the girls back next year for more softball fun. Thank you to all the umpires and volunteers – it was a super fun season!
