JPL C League Softball 2024

New Players or Managers of new teams: we would love to get you out there. Please contact Charlie Kaczinski (4-3974) or Richard Chen (4-1259) or Scott Morgan (4-4972) to get on the free agent list. Or if you're super-motivated, contact some managers directly.

All players must sign a release (pdf) before playing.

SCHEDULE

• First listed team is home team and has equipment responsibility
• Equipment is obtained from Building 11 (external view, internal view).
• X means no game

If one of your games should be rained out, a makeup game will be added. Call or email Charlie Kaczinski to report rainouts. Try not to cancel games first thing in the morning if the weather looks iffy. It will frequently clear by game time.

All games are scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. This means your team should arrive by 5:20 or earlier to warm up. You should have at least 10 players (including at least 3 women) ready to start the game at 5:30.

In case of a field conflict (i.e. others won't get off), here is our 2024 field permit, which should suffice to move people off the field. Hahamongna has no staff on site, so if the others don't respect the permit, call the park ranger at (626)744-4241.
