sandlot softball

Sandlot Softball is all about fun, community, and getting outside together. Open to men and women ages 13 and older, this relaxed, pickup-style softball gathering meets every Wednesday from 6–8 PM, May 6 through July 29, at Red Caboose Park (with lights when needed!). This is not a league and it’s not competitive—fun is the primary goal. Each week, whoever shows up is divided into teams on the spot, so you’ll be playing with different teammates every time. We’ll play a seven-inning game each week, and if time allows, we may play another game or stay a little longer. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and focused on enjoying the game and each other.

Registration is $25 per person and includes a brand-new hat. All players interested in participating must register by April 1. To make the games work well, we need at least 20 players present each week to field two full teams, and a minimum of 35 registered players overall to ensure consistent participation throughout the summer. If that registration threshold isn’t met, Sandlot Softball will not take place, and all registration fees will be fully refunded.

This ministry is intended for West Lawn UMC members and their family and friends, and it’s a great opportunity to invite someone you know, share life together, and show them the welcoming spirit of our church in a simple, low-pressure way. All you need to play are cleats and a glove—bats will be provided. Just show up, have fun, and enjoy the game.
