PARPC Girls recreational softball is a great program for youth to learn the sport of softball or brush up on skills! It is a 2-3x per week schedule so it’s not a huge commitment and runs from mid-April to early June. Includes a softball t-shirt, hat, and softball socks.

UPDATE ON AGE GROUPS: (New dates below for Spring 2025!) AGE CHART TO DOWNLOAD

*Please download the age chart above to confirm your athlete’s age group. We will accept U8 athletes on our U10 team.

• U-10
• U-12
• U-14

PRACTICES: Begin after Easter break, the week of April 1st, weather permitting.  Two practices per week in the first 2-3 weeks of preseason. When games begin, it moves to 1-2x games per week with some practices mixed in when the schedule allows. Game schedule will be available late April when eligible teams are signed up and games are assigned from the softball league. SCHEDULE TIMEFRAME: Schedules do not come out until after registration closes and all papers are received in order to leave no child behind and the opportunity to be on a team that fits their schedule of days available noted on registration forms. Also, games will be released the end of April in order to accommodate the softball league requirements and other team’s schedules in neighboring areas. Again, in an effort to leave no child behind for the opportunity to participate in recreational sports. Each season is different due to this, and we appreciate your patience.

COST: $90 ($5.00 discount for siblings) Register by February 18th (Late Fee+$20 February 19th- February 24th) Registration is closed after February 24th with no late registrations accepted, so please sign up early!

Your coach will contact you by March 10th regarding practice times. * Please note coaches do not contact players all on the same day. If you aren’t contacted by March 10th, please check your SPAM email first on the email you provided to us, then email hhershey@palmyrarec.org with your child’s name and age.

EQUIPMENT: Please bring your own softball mitt and cleats are optional. You will need to purchase softball pants for games, but your softball team shirt, hat, and socks will be provided from PARPC – all included in your registration fee. Balls, helmets, bats, umpire pads, etc are all available to borrow.

Trying out for PASD or a Travel team? We can accommodate most players! Anyone who tries out and doesn’t make it or would like a different option with us, we can take them- IF they sign up in our “standby” list beforehand and their schedule works with the team available in their age group.

Here’s what you need to do to get on the standby list:

1. Fill out the paper registration form below (not on active.com).
2. Write on the top of the registration form “trying out”
3. Send the registration form into our office at the address or drop box noted below by February 24th at the latest. Do NOT send payment with the registration form, we will just collect later if you decide to play (makes it easier for you and our accounting).
4. Email hhershey@palmyrarec.org as soon as you know what your status is for season after tryouts. 
5. After tryouts, pay without the late fee if you decide to play with us with a check mailed to PARPC at 325 South Railroad St, Palmyra PA 17078 or put the fee in our tan outside drop box available at the same address anytime, 24/7. Note- Our registration closes after February 24^th so if you hear before then, it would be great.  If your tryouts run after that date, please email me ASAP so I can get you on a team before our practices begin. You must notify us by March 20th at the latest of your availability.

Coaches and Assistant Coaches: Please provide a State Police Criminal Background Certificate and Child Abuse Clearance Certificate (please do not send a link as it always times out) emailed to hhershey@palmyrarec.org before the first practice.
