MANDATORY PLAYERS MEETINGS

All team captains, designated group leaders, or singles MUST attend a Players meeting. The reason for this is to make sure that all players are informed about CSSC Rules, benefits of the club, and to clarify any questions and concerns that players may have.

Any team that does not attend the Players Meeting will automatically recieve a '0' sportsmanship rating for their first game (unless the other team rates them a '-1').

Players can pick-up equipment and drop off their deposits at these meetings. We will have a marked area in the parking lot for players to pick up their equipment. CSSC staff will be onsite to answer any questions.

The deposit fees are as follows:
Slo-Pitch - Rec: $40.00
Slo-Pitch - Rec+, Int: $80.00
