The Estevan Girls Softball Association’s season is well underway as they play four days a week.

The association consists of squirt, peewee, bantam and midget divisions, along with the Learn to Play program.

There are three teams from Estevan in the squirt division, and seven teams overall in the league, and they play on Monday and Wednesday nights. There are five teams in the peewee league, but only two from Estevan. They, too, play on Monday and Wednesday nights.

Also, the bantam and midget divisions are combined. There are teams from Weyburn, Carlyle, Carnduff, Stoughton, Radville and Lampman in the league, and Estevan only has one team. They play on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

In the Learn to Play program there are seven teams, and they play on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Along with having teams that play in the league, there are also provincial teams as well.

Estevan will have one team in each representing squirt, peewee, bantam and midget divisions.

Vice-president of the Girls Softball Association, Ronda Blanchette said Estevan will be hosting U14 B Girls-South (peewee) along with the U18 B Girls (midget) provincial tournaments.

The peewee tournament takes place from July 3-5 and the midget tournament is from July 10-12.

For the past two years the softball association has been sending teams in the bantam and midget divisions to the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey BC. Since this year it falls on the same day as provincials, Blanchette said they had to opt out of the tournament.
