ABOUT
THE SPORT
Be a part of one of our largest and most social sports. In Slo-Pitch,
all pitches are ‘lobbed’ between 6 and 12 feet, making it
easier for batters to make contact. The ESSC offers Recreational, and Recreational
Plus divisions. All games are played on City of
Edmonton fields, most have shale infields, large backstops and player
benches. The batting team supplies umpires. All divisions, except
for Recreational, have 10 players on the field, with a minimum of three
females. The Recreational division uses the ‘3 pitch’ system,
with each team pitching to their own batters with a maximum of 3 pitches
per batter. This division has 9 players on the field, with a minimum of
3 females. After your game, enjoy ESSC specials at one of our many Sponsor
Bars around the city. |

Adults aged 18 and older can join the Slo-Pitch leagues. All Slo-Pitch divisions
in the ESSC are co-ed and self-officiated. The levels offered include Recreational,
and Recreational Plus. A description of each league's skill
level is provided below. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 to 9 players
but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations.
Small groups, friends and individual registrations are combined with other
similiar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration
