These bylaws have been in place since the yr 2017. We've updated the ones that needed to be updated but other than the few that needed updating we pretty much have had these in place for a while.
Also so everyone is clear. All suspensions from this point forward will be reported to usa softball. We will give them a detailed description on the events that took place. We will also send them witness statements if they are requested. This is softball. We know its competitive but some of the stuff that takes place not just here is getting ridiculous. We tried to keep things in house but unfortunately we're past that point. Thanks again for being part of the Marcus hook softball association.
