Prior Lake Athletics for Youth

In-House is the larger of the two Softball programs in terms of participants. This program is less of a time commitment and shorter season than traveling softball. Many of the participants in this program are outstanding athletes and enjoy the game of softball, but might have stronger commitments to other activities or sports.
If you have questions for a specific grade group - scroll down to the list of 'Board' Members below and email the person closest to your grade group with your inquiry.
All games are played within the Prior Lake / Savage School District limits. The main goal of this program is to provide a means of teaching children between the ages of 6 through 18 the skills of playing the sport of softball. During this process we want to create a fair and organized approach to securing players, coaches and volunteers, which will demonstrate the following principles:

• Make the sport fun for the kids, coaches and parents
• Provide a safe sport through the equipment and fields we use
• Give kids equal playing time
• Teach the fundamentals of the game and create curriculum for the progression of skill development
• Demonstrate admirable sportsmanship both on and off the field
• Work as a team

In-House Softball is intended to be a moderate competitive experience with the opportunity to have fun and learn softball fundamentals. If you are looking for something more competitive, you should consider Traveling Softball.

Please see below for open volunteer positions in the in-house program.
