Softball Players and Teams Wanted! GSA Grad Student Recreational Softball League Resuming in May
There has been a grad student softball league, sponsored by the Graduate Student Association, over the Spring and Summer at Carleton since 1984, until it was shut down by the pandemic in 2020. The league is a very casual, co-ed, non-competitive league where grad students, faculty, staff, partners, friends, alumni, and all members of the Carleton community of any gender identity have a chance to get out and socialize, roughly one evening a week. Games take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays, from May until the middle of August, with teams averaging about one game a week. The games normally take place on the River Field on campus, located on the Carleton grounds at the corner of Bronson and the Rideau River. Teams often go for beer and nachos afterwards.
The league is free for all teams and participants, equipment is provided free of charge, and the league provides a great way to get to know and keep in touch with other members of the Carleton community!
If you are interested in playing or getting a team together, please send an e-mail to gsasoftball23@gmail.com and copy aaron.doyle@carleton.ca.
