The county has inspected the fields, at Rutenberg, and opened the fields. All practices will resume tomorrow, Sunday, October 13th. Makeup games are being scheduled. Please refer to the updates from your coaches on this. Let's play ball!
FIELDS ARE CLOSED, TO ASSESS DAMAGE
We hope that our South family and all of those in our community are safe following Hurricane Milton. Our thoughts and prayers are with those north of us that got hit a lot harder than we did.
Although we may be ready to get back to baseball, we have to be patient. The county has to assess each youth sports complex to ensure it is safe. Once our fields have been evaluated, by the county, they will unlock the gates. I will say that it doesn't appear that we have any damage, but we won't know for sure until we are allowed in. We will post an update here or/and on our facebook page.
ALL LEE COUNTY PARKS, INCLUDING RUTENBERG, ARE CLOSED UNTIL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th, 2024, per county officials.
Fall Ball Registration Ends Today, 9/8/24, at 4pm.
Team Formation will be happening the week of September 9th. Once the teams are formed, you'll be contacted by your coach. Practices and games will begin the following week. (Plan for practice every Sunday and one game throughout the week. If you have any team requests or even schedule requests, feel free to log back into your sports engine account to edit your registration and add those requests under the Coach/Team Requests line. We can't make any promises, but we'll do our best to accommodate.) Let's get ready for some Baseball! See you all on the field soon.

Keep in mind, we do not host tryouts for Fall Ball. If your player is interested in moving up to a higher division in the Spring, we highly recommend you move them up in the Fall. However, if your player does play in a higher division in the Fall, there is no guarantee they will play in that division in the Spring.

We would like to Congratulate all of the players who were drafted onto All Star Teams for 2024!
We have so many talented players in every age group this year! If you're not familiar with the process, a private written vote for each teams roster is submitted by every Majors Manager, the Head Umpire and the President of our league. (They can be in the board room for hours during this process!) The votes for each player, per team, are then tallied up and the teams for each age group are formed.
So, please join us in Congratulating this year's South Fort Myers All Star players, by team (player numbers are still being added):
ALL Games scheduled for this evening (4/11/24) are being Rescheduled for tomorrow (Friday) evening due to current, heavy rain on the fields.
Majors Game is On for tonight!
Minors and Grapefruit fields collected a lot of rain today, so Games for tonight are Cancelled.
Makeup Games for Grapefruit and Minors will be held tomorrow night, Friday, at 6pm.
Reach out to your coach, if you have any questions.
Thank you, to all of the families at South, for making our Opening Day a huge success!
