PLAY FALL BALL!
Announcing the Cape Codgers Fall Softball League
The Cape Codger Senior Softball League is excited to announce that we will be running a Fall Softball League for current Cape Codgers. In the Codger spirit of “Fun and Friendship,” this is a great opportunity to extend competitive softball play into the gorgeous Fall in Falmouth and a chance to play on teams with different players from your Summer League teams.
Any D1 or D2 player who has already submitted a registration form and waiver for the 2021 Season is eligible to play. Existing D2 rules will apply to this Fall League with one addition: We will use a pitching screen.
The league will be composed of teams that will be created through a draft process in early September. The number of teams will be determined by the level of interest. The regular season will begin on September 13 and will run through October 30 and will consist of 8 to 10 games. There will also be a single elimination playoff in the first two weeks of November.
Weekday games can occur any day except Wednesday and will start at 5pm during September through Mid-October. Saturday morning games will take place throughout the season. The league will use the Nye, Administration, and Route 151 Fields.
The cost for participation will be $50.00 to cover uniforms, umpires and other expenses associated with running the league. On the registration form, please indicate if you would like to be included as a pool player. Payment should be sent via check (made out to the Cape Codgers) or via PayPal (see emails). All Registrations must be received by 8/20/2021.
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
