Fall Softball

 

Newtown Hawks travel softball is trying to organize a possible fall softball schedule for U10, U12, and U14 players (in addition to planning ahead for the summer 2001 season). Next summer, the teams will compete in the Central Valley Fastpitch League (an ASA league), but this fall a schedule would include games against Putnam County and Western Connecticut teams. Anyone interested in playing should call head coaches Nancy Bowen at 426-7101 (U10 players), Rich Van Waalwijk at 426-1673 (U12 players), or Paul LaFrancesca at 270-1844 (U14 players). Any qualified individuals interested in coaching a U16 or a U18 team should call Paul LaFrancesca at 270-1844. To be eligible for each age bracket, you must be that age or younger on January 1, 2001.
