I was wondering if there is any interest in starting an adult rec softball league in south walton. I know Destin and Defuniak have leagues but thats a little far to drive for an hour game. I played in the Destin league this year and know there are a lot of people from this area that play there. This is just to see if there is any interest. I'm not even sure who to contact about starting something like this. Any idea let me know.

Good thought. I know alot of people that play in the Destin league come from the PCB area. I think we are hamstrung by the lackof facilites in Sowal. Moll Drive only has little league fields and i dont think they can be used for softball beacuse of the short fences.
One of the fields at Helen McCall (Moll Dr.) is a softball field and I think it's full size. There is one at the high school too.
Does anyone know anyone the is in charge at Helen McCall park that we can talk to about this? I think this would be a great oppurtunity to get our locals involved more locally then say in Destin or Defuniak.
You should probably start with Walton County Parks & Rec. They manage the property as it is a County facility. Call Brad Alford, Parks and Recreation Manager at 892-8703.

Thanks for the name and number. I just went over to the park and they have a lot more then I thnk most people know about. They have soccer fields, a football field, 3 ball fields, batting cages, a playground, and consessions stands. I paced off the one field and it is 280 feet from home plate to the right field foul pole. Thats plenty big enough for rec softball.
Alright so just a brief update on the rec league. I have caled and left messages with the county parks personnel and also have spoke with a number of locals that play in the Destin leagues and there is definate interest in starting something like this. Please everyone let me know if there is more interest in doing this. I have been told that we would probably need at least 5-6 teams dedicated to this off the bat to get it started.
You might want to call SWHS and talk with Coach Tisa. (after school starts) He's the Seahawks softball coach and I think he plays in a league. Right now, you might also be able to find him at the HS field on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30.
I too would be very interested in being on a team, especially a fun, drinking team
