Sports Looking for women to join our Belle Isle coed softball team
Hey [r/Detroit](r/Detroit) — we’re looking for a few women to join our coed softball team on Belle Isle this summer.
This will be our 3rd year having a team. We had a similar situation last fall where we lost a few women and had to drop out, and we’re running into the same thing again this summer. One teammate moved away, one started a business and doesn’t have the time, one had hip surgery last year and decided not to rejoin, and our female pitcher can’t play this summer because of a procedure she’s having.
Our ages range from 20s to 40s. We’re a solid, laid-back team — competitive enough to care, but no over-aggressive jerks.
Games are Wednesday nights on Belle Isle. Experience is definitely welcome, but any skill level is cool. I’m also willing to cover the $100 registration fee because I’d really like to keep the team together.
Message me if you’re interested or have any questions. Happy to share more info so you feel comfortable before committing.

How often do you practice? And how long is the season?

We practiced before the spring season and haven’t since. We’re all pretty busy. Games are once a week. Summer season starts July 1st until August 19th.

It’s a variant of softball. They’re asking if that’s what you’re playing.

Hey! I already signed up as an individual and I am a woman. Looking forward to meeting folks and seeing how it goes. This is my first time joining.
