MISSION STATEMENT

Red River Valley Softball Association
Adaptive Softball League

The purpose of this league is to provide people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in softball. This participation is directed towards normalization for all athletes. Normalization occurs through minimal adaptations while following the 2003 Official ASA Rulebook for Softball.

Program Outcomes include:

1. To access community programs and facilities. The concessions stand will be open for us this year.
2. To provide age-appropriate recreational programs.
3. To provide opportunities for enjoyment through physical activity.
4. To provide experiences requiring appropriate social skills.
5. To enhance development of softball skills.

Volunteers

• You may need to help participants run, hit, and field.
• All outs need to be made by participants—they may require assistance to do so.
• Please coach the bases.
• Volunteers pitch, but do not field—may help participants to field.
• Please let participants play all positions.
• Be at the fields 10 minutes before the game.
• Please wear your team shirt to each game!
• If volunteers are unable to attend, you should find a replacement!!!
• Participants are not allowed to pitch.

It’s not whether we win or lose, it’s how we played the game. Please remember we are here to have FUN!
