Crofton Girls Must Register Now for Spring Sports – LACROSSE
January 8th, 2011 Categories: Crofton News
Crofton Athletic Council is accepting registration now for the spring season of girls lacrosse and softball. There is LOTS of information for you, so I divided this into two posts.
Information about Girls Softball in Crofton was posted yesterday. (Information about Crofton Baseball was posted on my other blog earlier in the week at Register Now to Play Baseball in Crofton.)
GIRLS LACROSSE
Registration deadline is 1/31/2011 for girls lacrosse. The registration fees, leagues, and eligibility information are listed here:
-
$60. Girls Sticklette Lacrosse – Grades K, 1, and 2. Players must be in kindergarten and 5 years old at time of registration. Girls born January-March 2003 may opt to play Sticklette or Pee Wee Lacrosse. - $100. Pee-Wee – Grades 3 and 4. Players must be 8 by May 31. This is the first level of county competition.
- $100. Middies – Grades 5 and 6. This level is broken into 3 divisions, by ability. Players must attend at least one placement session, and two in order to be considered for the “A” team.
- $100. Juniors – Grades 7 and 8. This level is broken into 3 divisions, by ability. Players must attend at least one placement session, and two in order to be considered for the “A” team.
Crofton Athletic Council does not field any Senior teams, since most high school lacrosse players compete on their school team. There is a county-wide league, however, and you can find more information about it at Girls Lacrosse Association of Anne Arundel County (glaaac.com)
If you’re thinking of registering your daughter for lacrosse, be sure to visit the Crofton Girls Lacrosse website to learn more about the differences from one division to the next. It’s not just age which separates them. (The website includes lots of other important information, too!)
Placement sessions for girls lacrosse will be held at Crofton Park Field #1 (CP1 – lighted lower softball fields behind Crofton Middle School). Please arrive for check-in 30 minutes prior to the start time:
The girls lacrosse program for Crofton Athletic Council is dedicated to teaching girls from kindergarten through eighth grade the techniques and strategies that make lacrosse such an exhilarating sport, while promoting teamwork and sportsmanship. Register for Girls Lacrosse here.
I sure wish they’d offered lacrosse when my daughter was growing up here in Crofton. I think it’s something she would have enjoyed!

Crofton Girls Must Register Now for Spring Sports – SOFTBALL
January 7th, 2011 Categories: Crofton News
Crofton Athletic Council is accepting registration now for the spring season of girls lacrosse and softball. There is LOTS of information for you, so I divided this into two posts. Information about Girls Lacrosse in Crofton will be posted tomorrow.
(Information about Crofton Baseball was posted on my other blog earlier in the week at Register Now to Play Baseball in Crofton.)
GIRLS SOFTBALL:Registration deadline for girls softball in Crofton is 2/15/2011. The registration fees, leagues, and eligibility information are listed below, but I can’t guarantee this information is complete or accurate. If your daughter wants to play girls softball this Spring, I highly recommend you contact Lisa Mills at (240)882–0219 or
Lisa@CroftonSoftball.com. Required placements and tryouts will take place at Extra Innings in Upper Marlboro, but I could not find the dates/times. Presumably you will receive this information when you Register for Girls Softball.
-
$65. 6u – Ages 4, 5, and 6. No tryouts or evaluations for placement are required at this level. Teams are kept small, capped at 8 players per team, guaranteeing each child 100% playing time minimizing the standing or sitting around. Additionally, these players get more individual coaching time, focused on learning the fundamentals. Smaller teams also allow players to receive several at bats per game – their favorite thing at this age. Teams play a form of Cal Ball where the coach pitches a few times to the batter and if the player does not hit the ball, the ball is placed on a Tee. We have found this to move faster and is more exciting than T-ball. (Excerpt from CroftonSoftball.com) - $85. 8U – Ages 7 and 8. No tryouts or evaluations for placement are required at this level, except for All-Star teams. Teams are kept small, capped at 10 players per team, guaranteeing each child 100% playing time minimizing the standing or sitting around. Additionally, these players get more individual coaching time focused on learning fundamentals from catching, throwing, batting, base-running, and defense. We also play a form of Cal Ball where kid pitch is phased in over the course of the season ending in two innings per game. There are no walks, no Tees, and players can strike out. There is no base stealing. There is greater emphasis on defense where players will make force outs, catch balls in the air, and make throws to first base. (Excerpt from CroftonSoftball.com)
- $100. 10u – Ages 9 and 10. You will probably receive this when you register. This is fastpitch softball with umpires. From walks to base-stealing to running on overthrows, this game is much faster and more realistic than 8u softball. (Excerpt from the old website for Crofton Softball at leaguelineup.com.)
- $100. 12u – Ages 11 and 12. Pitchers and catchers become increasingly important. Girls transitions to the larger 12 inch ball and the pitching distance is extended to 40’. In addition, players are now allowed to steal home, the dropped third strike and infield fly rules are also in effect. Pitching logs are required and teams play a 14 game regular season culminating in a season ending double elimination tournament. (Excerpt from the old website for Crofton Softball at leaguelineup.com.)
There are two additional leagues in which Crofton grils play softball (14u and HSE), but I didn’t find any information on the organization’s new website and there wasn’t much on the old website either. It appears that the registration fee is $100 and that tryouts/evaluations are required. Beyond that, I must refer you again to Lisa@CroftonSoftball or suggest that you Register for Crofton Softball. It’s likely that you will receive more information in response to registering.
It appears the girls softball program in Crofton is transitioning to a new website, so you may wish to check it often. I’m sure it will be better than ever when it’s complete.
