Welcome to the Cape Codgers Website and Our 2021 Season!
Registration for the 2021 Season is now CLOSED.
For players who have registered, here are the Important Preseason Events, Dates and Locations
2021 Rookie Camp Sessions
Two sessions of Rookie Camp are being held for all new players and players who are returning after missing the 2020 season because of the pandemic.
New players are required to attend at least one session but can attend both. These sessions are important as they will focus on rules, safety issues and getting in proper shape for softball. You will do a lot of stretching, along with fielding drills and batting practice. The goal is to prepare our players and lessen a chance of injury.
Session 1 Led by Billy O’Connor, Barn Pottery Team (2020 Codger D2 Champions)
Saturday, 5/1 at Nye Field 10 am-12 pm (rain date is Sunday 5/2 from 10 am-12 pm)
Session 2 Led by John Moore, Toyota Seadogs Team (2019 Codger D2 Champions)
Saturday-5/8 at Nye Field 10 am-12 pm (rain date is Sunday 5/9 from 10 am-12 pm)
Week of May 3: 2021 Player Evaluations / Scrimmages
Player Evaluations will take place on the following days at Falmouth Heights Field and Nye Field, North Falmouth.
All players in the draft will have batting and fielding practice followed by a scrimmage.
Players should make every effort to attend at least one of these events.
Wednesday 5/5 all evaluations are CANCELED due to rain
Thursday 5/6 D1 evaluations at The Heights @ 5 pm
Thursday 5/6 D2 evaluations at Nye @ 5 pm
Friday 5/7 D2 evaluations at Nye @ 5 pm
New Players Please Note:
The rookie camp and scrimmages are not a ‘tryout' but an assessment of your experience and skill level so that you can be placed on an appropriate team.
EVERYONE makes a team and will play softball in the Codgers League this summer!.
A message from Chip Mansfield, Founding Father and Ambassador, The Cape Codgers
In 2020, the Codgers' 13 years of building friendships and community through our love of the game took precedence over fear.
To be honest, I was very hesitant to condone our 2020 season because of the frightening news on the pandemic.
But all reports from town officials said that the Codgers were an example of CDC protocol.
Most important, there were very few cases of Covid among those who played this season and the disease did not
spread within the league. The 'boys of the summer’ played and prevailed with an abbreviated and competitive
schedule with 9 teams in both divisions. Hollis Engley’s team, The Barn Pottery (withTom Griffin's winning hit)
wore the crown for Division 2 and, while there were no official playoffs in D1, the players enjoyed a successful
schedule of games, followed by a full season of Fall Ball for All. So congratulations to all who made the Codgers
2020 season happen. Thank you all. Hopefully 2021 will bring back the enjoyment of a normal Cape Codgers season
where fun and friendships prevail. Stay vigilant, be safe and see you in the Spring! -Chip
