2021 Annual Meeting

Download Our Mobile App Today!

TeamApp will our preferred method of communication for the 2021 season. Coaches and PYS will be able to directly contact players & parents through our mobile app. For instructions on how to get the app or on how to use the website version of the app, click here.

Equipment Requirements

All batting helmets are required to have an attached face mask. Any and all batting helmets without face masks will not be allowed in any Portage Youth Softball sanctioned activities including but not limited to games and practices. All teams will have approved helmets that players can use, but we do recommend that each player has their own helmet for hygiene purposes. Infielding masks are not required, but are highly recommended, especially for athletes who play 1st base, 3rd base, and/or pitcher. Metal cleats are only permitted for the 14U & 16/18U Leagues. All other leagues are prohibited from using metal cleats. More information regarding equipment can be found by reading our Equipment Help Guide.

Volunteers Needed!

Portage Youth Softball is a 100% volunteer organization. Without an adequate number of coaches, teams have larger numbers, volunteers have to commit additional time, and players receive less individual attention. Training and support are available. To keep our program of 110+ children running, your help is necessary. The jobs can be fun and you will get to meet families in the community while setting a good example for our children by showing the importance of community service and volunteering! If you are interested, please complete our short required online volunteer application. We are in need of volunteers for all age levels. If you have questions about volunteering, feel free to contact us.

Optional Preseason Practices

Registered players in the Rookie, 10U, 12U, & 14U Leagues are encouraged to attend our Optional Preseason Practices for their appropriate league. At Optional Preseason Practices, players can work on developing their skills before official team practices start! High school aged players (current grades 9-12) are not allowed to attend Optional Preseason Practices and must instead attend the High School Open Gyms.
In order for us to offer these events, we need parent volunteers to assist with coaching and running different skills stations. You do not need to be an approved volunteer to assist with these events although we encourage all of our approved coaches and volunteers to assist. If we do not have enough volunteers for these events, we will cancel them. You do not need to volunteer every time, but if many parents volunteer a few times each, the slots will fill up and make these events a success!
