"There'll be two buses leaving the hotel for the park tomorrow. The two o'clock bus will be for those of you who
 need a little extra work..... The empty bus will leave at five o'clock." - David Bristol, Milwaukee Brewers Manager

** Individuals interested in playing softball but don't have a team are encouraged to get on our free agents list. Contact Scott to be added to the list and get connected with a team - Scott.Heitkamp@Burnsvillemn.gov 

The City of Burnsville requires all teams to have a league roster on file that includes the first and last names of all players who will play on your team. Additionally, you may choose to put your roster online with USSSA. Roster checks are done on an as needed basis as determined by the league director and various circumstances. In the event a team does not have a legal roster on file, all players and the manager could face additional penalties that include but are not limited to suspensions or forfeiture of games.

NEW STARTING IN 2021: rosters will freeze on June 30. Once frozen, that’s the team’s “official” roster for the remainder of the season, including playoffs. However, if teams need to add a player for a regular season week, they can, but those players won’t be on the “official” roster for playoffs.
