|
 | Q: Draft - What is the Draft and
where and when does it take place? |
|
| |
A: Please see our Draft FAQ
document or go to our Draft Information
page for full details of the PWLL Draft!
|
| Q: Equipment - what equipment do I need my player to bring with her to the Prince
William Lassie League (PWLL)? |
|
| |
A: Shoes, shorts, and a glove. Shoes can be
traditional sneakers though in the older divisions many players prefer soft
rubber cleats (i.e. something a player could be stepped on with, without
injury). Specific shorts are frequently recommended by a team's coach
so you should delay acquiring any until your player's assigned to a team.
If your player's new to softball, you will probably want to delay acquiring
a softball glove until talking to your player's coach as well, for
recommendations on costs and sources.
|
| Q: Equipment - what equipment will the PWLL provide?
|
|
| |
A: All field equipment, batting helmets, balls, and bats, as
well as a team shirt your player will use and keep.
|
| Q: Fundraisers - does the Prince William Lassie League hold fundraisers? |
|
| |
A: During the course of the season there may from time to
time be completely voluntary fundraisers like car washes, etc., to help
raise funds for the League. We do not sell candy or
cookies or participate in any other budgeted annual fundraisers.
|
| Q: Games - how many games are there per week? |
|
| |
A: In
most cases a team will play two games per week and usually will have one
practice per week. One game and the practice will usually be on a
weeknight, at the times specified in the PWLL game schedule (soon to be
posted on-line!) at the usual ballpark for that team. The second game each
week will usually be on Saturday and will start anywhere from 9am until 3pm.
|
| Q: Games - how long do games usually run? |
|
| |
A: In most cases games are between an hour and 15 minutes
and an hour and a half in length.
|
| Q: Games - when are games usually played? |
|
| |
A:
Instructional, Pigtail, and Junior teams play all of their games at
Cloverdale Park. Senior teams often play at Leitch Field during the week,
and at Cloverdale Park on Saturdays. The
schedule that you receive will give you the actual time and location for all
games.
|
| Q: Practices - when will team practice and game schedules be published? |
|
| |
A: Your player's coach should provide you a complete
schedule of team events no later than 26 March. If you do not receive
anything by that date please contact your Division Director as listed on our
Contacts page.
|
| Q: Rain - what if it's raining
when my player's game's scheduled? What do I do? |
|
| |
A: The League generally plays when the county fields are
open. If the fields are closed we don't play. You can call the
Park Authority's field conditions phone numbers below to find out whether
your field is open:

player database) your girl brings to the PWLL, your girl will get a $5
referral reward. How do you do it? On the registration form (see
the form on our Registration page) there's a
field called "Player referred by" - just make sure your player's name
appears in that field and she gets a reward!
