Th following website will start you off with some information and possibly answer some/all of your questions. Basicly, your need to attend three evaluations and be evaluated as a 1,2,3,4, or 5 player and then you can hook up with a neighborhood and/or rec team, or be a substitute.

I recommend you do some throwing, running, and stretching before evaluations if you haven't been doing these in a while.

I'm calling my move "pre-tirement" as I still work full time but am able to work from my home. So, I'm not yet sure if I could work out participating in the rec leagues with games being held on weekdays. I have a few questions, if you all don't mind, about how to get into a neighborhood league.

I guess, first, what is the process for getting in? Do I sign up for tryout/evaluation at a softball complex or rec center or something?

Would I be able to get in in the middle of a "season" or do I need to wait for one to start?

Is it worth trying to get in relative to the neighborhood I'm renting in, or wait until I have a permanent neighborhood? Or maybe a better way to ask is - what is the process if you start in one neighborhood but you move to another during a season?
