Abilene North Softball –

We will begin Spring 2021 sign-ups January 11th! Whether you’re a returning player, or new to the game, we would LOVE to have you here at Abilene North!
Softball is a fantastic workout for our kiddos, helps with muscle development, and will give our children a chance to build leadership skills! We accept children as young as 2 years old through 14! For more information, please call the phone numbers listed on our flyer or send us a message!

Wylie Fast Pitch Softball– 

Spring registration will be online next week!
Watch for the post with the link. 🥎🥎🥎
**Wylie Fastpitch will no longer accept personal checks for registration, sponsorships or tournaments. The increasing number of returned checks in the last two years has forced us to make this decision. We will continue to accept cash, money orders, credit/debit cards and paypal.
**The Abilene City Council recently approved a “recreational field use fee” of $20/player for Abilene residents and $25 for out of town players. This fee will go into effect at the end of January.
IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE THEN YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED THE EXTRA FEE, SO SIGN UP EARLY!!!!
This fee is for all recreational leagues that use city fields, not just Wylie softball. We’re not happy about it either 😕
