CAC of Pittsburgh hosts two great sports leagues:

SOFTBALL LEAGUE
Co-ed Slow-pitch

Sundays, April thru August
At VA Medical Center - near Highland Park

Interested in summer socializing, exercise, and some fun?  We have just the thing for you!  Each year, CAC organizes a spring-summer co-ed softball league consisting of 7 or 8 teams.  Our league attracts many singles, including those outside CAC.  All singles 21 and over are invited to participate.

The league is focused on fun.  People of all skill levels are encouraged to join, even those who have never played before.  ALL players qualify for league play regardless of softball ability, and if you show up for your game on time, you are guaranteed to play a minimum of four innings.

After each game, we gather at a local bar/restaurant where we talk, eat, and have some post-game fun.  The season is followed by our annual sports picnic in September where league players gather to celebrate a successful season and are presented with the season's awards.

COST:  $35 for CAC members, $40 for alumni, and $45 for non-members (non-refundable, once assigned to a team in mid-March).  Includes a team shirt and September picnic.

APPLICATION:  Applications are currently being accepted.  If an opening exists when your application is received, you will be placed on a team.  Otherwise, you will be placed on our waiting list (openings typically occur throughout the season).

TENNIS LEAGUE

Season:  April to August (12 to 15 weeks)
Days/Time:  Monday or Tuesday (varies), 7:30 p.m.
Location:  Moore Park, Brookline (< 1 mile from Liberty Tunnels)

Our spring/summer team tennis league features an all doubles format, which allows players of all skill levels to participate.  The league consists of a maximum of five teams, each having a maximum of six men and six women.  A playoff format will end the season.  Awards are presented at the Sports Picnic in September.

Matches begin promptly at 7:30, and all players must arrive by 7:40 in order to play in the match (this will be strictly enforced), so please allow for enough travel time to get there early.

COST:  $21 for CAC members, $26 for non-CAC members.  (Softball League players, note price break!  Only $8 for CAC members, $13 for non-CAC members, since your softball league fee already pays for the sports picnic.)  Optional team T-shirt:  add $8.

The league fee pays for tennis balls, awards, and the catered sports picnic.  It is non-refundable once you are assigned to a team in early-March.

APPLICATION:  Deadline to apply is February 26, 2009.  Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.  If all openings are filled before the deadline, additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
