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.

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.

Sample Uniforms Available

Sample uniforms may or not be available to try on prior to the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 situation. We will post updates as they are available. Contact us with any questions.

Optional Preseason Practices

Registered players in the Rookie, 10U, 12U, & 14U Leagues are encouraged to attend our Optional Preseason Practices for their appropriate league. High school aged players are encouraged to attend the High School Open Gyms. Any players that plan to be on one of the 2020 Spring PHS Softball Teams should not attend the Optional Preseason Practices due to coaching contact restrictions.

The schedule of these events is shown below:

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! Sign up to volunteer using SignUpGenius.
