Last Tuesday we played the Justice team. We didn't play very well as a team, and there were tons of mistakes. Out fielders were over throwing and not using their cut offs. Not one in-fielder could catch a ball, and we were constantly changing everyone's positions so we could get a good play. We played a double header starting at 8:30 and lost both games. We didn't play as good as we wanted but we were also short on players.
Even though we lost both games against the justice team, we wore yellow to support youth cancer. There was a lady there that had just lost her son to cancer; she rounded the team up to get a group picture. She thanked us multiple times for the support. This coming week is our last week of softball. We have a double header this Tuesday and a tournament this Saturday in Belle Fourche. Our theme is pink, to support Breast Cancer Awareness.

Middle of the Season
We are about a month into the season, we started towards the middle of August. Each team plays at least one game a week, some even play two. Other then the weekly games there are tournaments, your team is encouraged to play in. The tournaments are not required but highly recommended. As a team we have played in one tournament, and nine games. All games are at the Belle Fourche Round-up. The tournament we played in this weekend was located in Spearfish.
As a team we need a lot of work. We have only won four out of the nine games we have played. We're not that good, but as individuals we are fantastic. We just need to come together as a team. We may not be one of the best teams in the league but we know how to have fun. We walk on with good sportsmanship and walk off with it too. We have an 8:30 game tomorrow night here in Belle Fourche, its a double header so it gets over at 10:30.

Communication
It's really important for the cut offs to communicate with the outfielders. With out that communication, the out fielders might not know where to throw the ball. Talking of others also helps with over thrown balls. Over thrown balls are the worst, they not only hurt us as a team but they give the other team a chance to advance to the next base.
You can't play any sport with out communication. Talking to you're team members on the field is one of the most important things. Communication not only helps you know where the next play is at, but where to throw the ball.

Schedules
Co-ed softball games are played during the week days and tournaments are played on weekends. There are two scheduled games a week. Each game is a double header. Every game is an hour long but with it being scheduled as a double header its two hours long. Games are scheduled from 6:30-8:30 and 8:30-10:30. They are usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for tournaments they are on Saturdays, and can start any where from 7:00am to 8:00.
On the field there must be at least 10 players. On the infield there needs to be 6 players, if the catcher is a girl then the pitcher needs to be a boy. It goes for the rest of the positions as well, if first base is a boy then second needs to be a girl, shortstop needs to be a boy and third needs to be a girl. As for the out field you need at lest 4 player, each position needs to be boy, girl, boy, girl.
The batting order is the same as the fielding rules. Whether you have a boy or girl batting first, you need the opposite sex go after them, and so forth threw out the whole batting order.

The Basic Necessities
Interested in playing co-ed softball?
Well here's the deal, to play "co-ed softball" you need to have a mixture of boys and girls on the team. You need to have at least ten people on the field and a couple bench warmers also none as extra hitters. Once the first game is over the "bench warmers" can take place on the field. You must have a sponsor, and five hundred dollars to pay the team fee. Once you have the necessities you can take a trip to the BelleFourche Community Rec Center and get you're team registered.
