Welcome to Christy Mathewson Softball!
We are so excited to start our third season and open registration for our 2026 softball season!
FIELD- Our home field is the First Responder Field in Dalton PA.
AGE- we will have three divisions: 8u, 10u, and 12u. We will begin practice as the weather allows. However, in years past, the season generally starts in April and ends in June. If weather allows, we love to get on the field in March. We will take part in the Valley League. We will be playing other teams from neighboring towns such as Gibson, Carbondale, Throop, etc. 8U will participate in the Abington League. Please stay informed through our Facebook page (Christy Mathewson Softball) with opportunities and clinics that are going on right now for fielding and pitching!
Equipment
Each team is equipped with various size USA stamped bats, helmets (with face shields), catchers gear, and USA stamped balls. Many players do have their own equipment but please know Christy Mathewson does have an equipment bag for each team that the girls are welcome to use.
**Each player does need to have their own glove. Spikes (No metal) are recommended. Face masks are also recommended.
We will have an Equipment Swap at Field Clean Up Day if you want to hold off in purchasing anything until then. However, stores seem to quickly clear out of equipment when the season rolls around.
Volunteers- The more the merrier! We need volunteers to coach and help with snack stand and field maintenance. Please register as a volunteer through the registration link while you register your player.
Fundraiser- The 2025 Gift Card Fundraiser was a success AND so much fun! We (players, coaches and families) really worked together to make this happen! Therefore, we are happy to announce we will do our Annual Gift Card Fundraiser for the 2026 Season! Details will be coming soon!
Please join us as we celebrate our children as they learn age-appropriate softball skills and team building on our brand-new field!
Welcome back Christy Mathewson families!
Let’s Play!
