Like everything that has a beginning there is an end.  The season was completed Monday evening with the last of the rain out games getting made up.
On to Closing Ceremonies
They are scheduled for next Wednesday July 8 6:30PM
at the ball park.  See you then.
Tradition has it there will be a coaches/managers/helpers game following the ceremonies for those interested in letting the kids see how well we play and rib us for the mistakes we might make.
It always is a fun time especially the next day when we find some muscles that are sore because we haven't used them in a while.

6/25/09
New week 12 added to the master schedule.  See the Calendar page.

6/24/09
Thanks to the storms that blew through the metro Tuesday evening we have moved those games to Friday night 6-26.  See the Calendar page for the details.

6/16/09
The make up games have been rescheduled and weeks 10 & 11 on the Calendar page have been revised.

I have posted the results of all three tournaments we hosted this year  on the Tournament Page.  On behalf of the Board I want to thank the teams and fans that participated.  Once again Mother Nature wasn't kind to us but it was better than 2008.  We look forward to you coming back next year!

Posted the entire league schedule on the Calendar page as well as the concession stand schedule.  Coaches have their rosters and are calling the girls to set up team meetings and determine practice schedules.
We are asking until we get a break in the weather that the younger teams find an alternate site than our complex for practice for a short while until the grass takes hold.  It's been a long, hard cold winter and the blue grass is having a tough time germinating.  We are confident that we will be at full song by the time the younger divisions start on May 2.
Thank you for your understanding of how easy it would be to tear up the outfields in the fragile condition they are in after last years flooding.

For North Des Moines Girls Softball players!!!
We are proud to have the DM North High School Softball coaches and the players conduct a softball clinic on
May 9th from noon to 2PM!
Bring your glove and be ready for some drills and techniques on the game of softball.
Coach McCarthy tells me that due to some economic factors they have had to redo the DM North tournament as they had several teams need to drop out.  We will not be hosting it this year but the revised schedule of games will be played at North High and Saydel High.

You may have noticed a new item on the left.

It is extremely nice to hear from a player that has played at our complex since she was very young and to have her send a note about her experiences at North Des Moines.  It made me feel like we are doing things right and with her permission I wanted to post it here.

Don't forget players and parents, North Des Moines Girls Softball requires the batting helmets to have facemasks as well as chin straps.  There a number of choices so if you are adding a facemask to your helmet you will want to take it to the store with you to make sure you get one that fits properly.  Players will not be able to play if they don't have one.  Rules are rules.

Mid Iowa Girls Softball

As one of the Host Leagues, NDMGS provides our six fields and opens the concession stand for the teams that are formed from across the metro and Central Iowa and some a bit further to have a quality complex to play some softball and be able to get a snack.  Thanks for participating in our program.  
Mid Iowa Girls Softball was formed seven years ago and has continued a tradition of providing an opportunity for teams interested in some softball in the fall!  A loose confederation of seven host leagues, NDMGS, South Des Moines Girls Softball, Raccoon Valley Girls Softball, West Des Moines Girls Softball, Urbandale Girls Recreation Association, Indianola Girls Softball and Ankeny Girls Softball work to provide a schedule of games for those interested in more softball!  A big thank you goes out to each league for the efforts they go through getting their complexes ready each and every playing date.
Each Host League goes about forming teams that are made up of players from their Spring programs a little bit different as there are no set guidelines that M.I.G.S. has regarding this as the entry into Fall Ball is by Team entry.
North Des Moines Girls Softball does not go through a formal registration and sign up process rather, individuals make a decision to coach a team and go about finding players from the program to play on their team themselves.

  See the MIGSoftball.org site for the Fall Ball entry forms and information concerning the 2009 fall season.
