The PA Softball Summer Collegiate League (SSCL) is offering an exciting opportunity for your student-athletes in DuBois, PA. In the summer of 2021, the inaugural SSCL will take shape providing student-athletes the opportunity to compete at a high level throughout the summer.
The SSCL is designed for student-athletes to work, enjoy their summer while competing. Competition will take place on seven Sundays at Heindl Field in DuBois, PA from the beginning of June through mid-July. The expectation is to play a doubleheader on Sunday for a total of 14-16 games in our first year.
Roster sizes will remain small to ensure quality playing time while understanding some players may not be able to attend every game. The cost per player is $375 for the season which will cover all player/team expenses such as softballs, field rental, umpires, uniforms, insurance and playoffs.
The four team names are the Peaches, Belles, Comets and Blue Sox as a part to pay homage to the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBBL), the women’s professional baseball league that played from 1943 to 1954. The 1992 motion picture A League of Their Own is a mostly fictionalized account of the early days of the AAGBBL league and its stars about the story of the new professional league with women players in order to maintain baseball in the public eye during World War II.
Player registration is limited to ensure four teams and ample playing time. Players must be enrolled in a university/college, eligibility remaining and a commitment to league/team. The league will follow NCAA rules and COVID waivers/regulations set forth.
Our goal is to provide competition at a high level throughout the summer for these student-athletes to continue to develop in preparation of their fall season.
