League games are played on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at the Field of Dreams, located near the corner of Riggs and Price Roads. Two doubleheaders are played each day with the first game starting at 8:00 a.m. We also have a recreational program with batting practice, fielding practice and/or pick-up games on Mondays and Saturdays. If you’re interested in joining one of our programs, just come by the field and ask to talk to a Board of Directors member. Additional information, schedules, team rosters, standings and batting statistics are available on our website (www.sunlakessoftball.com).
Our ladies’ team, the Sun Lakes Sluggers, will be starting league play in early January. They play in the Valley of the Sun League with several other teams from throughout the Valley. Practice is underway now. Check the Ladies Page on the website for more information.
