2019 Suburban Villagers
The Suburban Villagers team is a competitive travel team which is open to all girls in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades who reside in either South Orange or Maplewood. The Suburban Villagers play in the Essex County Suburban Softball League which is comprised of several Essex County municipalities and their Recreation Departments, each of whom sponsor a town team featuring the best players from each municipality. These municipalities include such fastpitch softball hotbeds as Cedar Grove, Bloomfield, Belleville, Caldwell, Montclair and Nutley.
The team will practice once a week during February and March at The Sports Academy, led by former college softball player and Columbia High School alumnus, Taryn Williams. Some team hitting practices may also be added. The goal is to ramp up the focus and intensity of the girls' softball training with an eye towards preparation for high school.
The Suburban Softball League plays a 10 game home and away schedule from April until May. The Suburban Villagers schedule generally consists of two games a week followed by single elimination play-offs. The Suburban Villagers team will also participate in 1-2 independent spring tournaments.
The MSO Softball program and Suburban Villagers coach will make allowance for players to concurrently participate in the Spring Recreation Softball program – in fact, this is very much encouraged.
