We have officially grown our league from 3 to 5 teams, and everything kicks off tomorrow night! We have just a handful of spots left so if you have not completed your payment yet, lock in tonight before we officially sell out!
For everyone else, here's what you're looking to know:
Hartshorn Park. The GPS can be a little tricky for navigation, so if you have trouble locating the fields try this direct address: 150 Longmeadow Road, Taunton, MA 02780
We are drafting live at the fields starting at 6pm tomorrow. You are welcome to come watch or you can use the fields for some light practice while the draft is conducted. As soon as the draft concludes, games will begin!
All players will receive custom jerseys but they take a couple weeks to produce, so you will not have jerseys to start the season. Just wear comfortable clothes and cleats - but no metal spikes please. Make sure you have your fielding mitt and bat, if you have one. If you don't have a bat yet, many players are happy to share and teach you about bat certifications so you can eventually purchase one. Just ask!
Plan on playing all three timeslots tomorrow - 6:30/7:45/9pm. Only two teams each week will play the 9pm timeslot, but you won't know which team you're on until tomorrow. So prepare for the long haul!
Tomorrow nights games will have an official umpire, but they are officially preseason games - so the scores will not count towards the season standings. This is your chance to get to know your fellow teammates and a chance for your coach to get to know everyone and learn their positions.
If you can't attend tomorrow, you will receive your draft results via email and be able to play the following week.
Welcome to your new addiction! When you get drafted, chat with your coach and be honest about your experience... but they likely already have an idea. Be open to learning about the game and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Every team has a few Pros, and every team has a few Average Joes/Janes. You don't need to perform at superhero levels... just strive to get a little better each week!
Welcome! Be ready for a unique style of play that is focused on fun and socializing rather than beating each other senseless. Just because we play recreationally doesn't mean we don't play to win - we just do so while focusing on socializing and having fun. We hope you use this opportunity to impart some of your knowledge onto the new players and help them grow. This is not the league to get overly hyped up, or angry, or aggressively competitive - this is the league to develop new players. The teams that win? Usually the ones who coach up their novices the best and play best as a team - so be ready to help your coach navigate that process!
For any other questions, feel free to visit the League Joe site and use the support chat. Good luck tomorrow!

Sorry about the confusion, we sent the wrong email a few minutes ago. The Draft will be Tuesday, July 22 at the fields starting at 6pm. Show up early to see where you get picked, then we hit the fields to play.
Below is the original intended email!
We’re building something special in Taunton—and we want you to be a part of it and help us grow the league. The bigger the group, the bigger the prizes. Here’s what’s up:
