Freedom Optimist Softball: Fall 2008 Divisions
The Freedom Optimist Girls Softball League organizes select teams that compete in local, state and out-of-state tournaments. The level of play is higher than experienced in the recreational league as the teams compete against the best teams from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York and New Jersey. Most tournaments are held in the Carroll, Howard and Baltimore County area, however some are played at more distant sites. The actual tournament season begins the end of May and runs through the first week of August. The season may be preceded by a practice game schedule of a few weeks. The actual number of tournaments and the specific tournaments each team competes in is determined by the desires of the team's players and the player's parents.
Players for these teams must compete in a tryout for positions on the team. An additional cost will be charged to players making these teams. Teams will be organized to compete in 10 & under, 12 & under, 14 & under, 16 & under and 18 & under.
