This team will be listed as a Class B USA Softball Tournament Team. We will plan in Class B and Class A tournaments in the New England area, with several weekends of traveling to locations 1-3 hours away.

Registrations will remain open until Friday, August 3rd, 2018. The team will be selected on Saturday, August 4th, 2018.

The cost to play will be $500. This will include (2) custom jerseys, pants, a belt, (2) pairs of socks, a practice jersey, a hoodie, a helmet and 6-8 tournaments. Tuition is paid in installments between October and February. Our costs are kept down as we do not pay our coaches, we use public gyms at no cost to us, we have our own fields, and we have a tag day to help defer the costs.

Salem NH Softball has been a long-time member of Babe Ruth Softball, and began an affiliation with USA Softball last year, doing very well in tournaments both last year and this year, where the team is currently 17-4. You can follow the league’s yearly accomplishments on this page:
