Leagues

MCGSA Operates 5 leagues (based on age as of December 31, 2009):

  • T Ball – Ages 6U: Instructional league designed to teach softball fundamentals. Girls hit off a Tee and use an 11 inch “softie” softball.
  • 8U: Instructional league designed to teach softball fundamentals. Girls are pitched to by their coach using an 11 inch “softie” softball.
  • 10U: Beginning of competitive leagues. Girls fast pitch to their competition. First league where stealing is allowed. Uses a standard 11 inch softball.
  • 12U: Competitive league with girls pitching to their competition. Uses a 12 inch standard softball.
  • 14U/16U Inter Park League: The 14U and 16U recreational leagues have been combined into one league. Teams will play games against OCEE Park in Alpharetta and Morgan Falls Park in Sandy Springs, as well as other MCGSA recreational teams.

Teams are formed within each league with the intent of balancing skill levels. The emphasis of the intramural program is on building skills while having fun. The season ends with an intra-league tournament, culminating in the awarding of trophies for tournament winners and season winners.

Local Playing Rules

All Stars

All Star teams are formed at each level at the end of the intramural season. Post-season All Star play gives girls who have a higher level of interest and skill an opportunity to play with other high-level players and test themselves against teams from other parks in the Metro area.

The Travel Team Program

There is no limit to how far our young women athletes can go. MCGSA sponsors competitive “A” and “B” level travel teams for our top players. This program offers more intensive instruction and the highest level of competitive play throughout Georgia, and the Southeast. Murphey Candler travel teams have qualified and played at both the ASA and NSA Nationals.
