Baseball and Softball Registration Opens in Tinton Falls

Registration starts this weekend

Winter may just be underway, but Tinton Falls is thinking about the spring softball and baseball seasons.

Tinton Falls Girls Softball League

The Tinton Falls Girls Softball League announces its registration for the 2012 spring season. The TFGSL is a rec league for girls aged 7-to-15 as of Dec. 31, 2011. We will also accept 6 year olds with at least one year of t-ball as long as they can display basic skills.

In addition to players from Tinton Falls, the league is once again accepting girls from other towns. Girls aged 9-to-15 will have to attend a skills evaluation in late February for the purpose of creating fair, balanced teams. It is not a try-out, the TFGSL is a rec league, and any girls of the right ages may play. Additionally, girls who sign up by Wed Jan. 25 will be invited to a free clinic in Tinton Falls in mid-February. The dates of the evaluation and clinic will be announced shortly.
