Due to extremely high participation numbers at the High School level, the Jefferson softball program is making the following adjustments to our tryout and team formation process for 2023:

Incoming 7^th Graders

• Only pitchers and catchers will be allowed to register and tryout for the High School teams.  At the conclusion of tryouts, we will only offer spots to 7^th grade pitchers and catchers if there is appropriate space on a team.

New 8^th Graders

• For any 8^th graders who did not participate at Jefferson last year, they will be allowed to register and tryout for the High School teams.  At the conclusion of tryouts, we will only offer spots to any new 8^th graders if there is appropriate space on a team.

Any 8th graders that did participate in the Jefferson High School program last year as 7^th graders, will again be placed on one of the High School teams at the conclusion of tryouts.

Our goal is not to carry more than 13 players on each of our 4 teams.  

We encourage all 7th & 8th graders not playing in the Jefferson High School program to continue to participate in the BFA softball program (or other softball programs) and tryout for the high school teams next year.

The softball program will be hosting an informational PAC (Parent Athlete Coaches) Meeting on Monday, February 13^th at 7:00 in the high school auditorium.
