IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Umpiring Duties – ALL Grades will need to umpire themselves if there is no “Official Umpire” appointed. If this is the case the first named on the draw is to do this. If Officials are available for your games, they will be made to the draw on each Thursday Night.

No Metal Cleats – Only Diamonds 1, 2 ,9, and 10 may use metal cleats.  On Diamonds 9 & 10, please use rubber cleats for practice to prolong our turf. Council has advised that NO METAL CLEATS are to be worn on the other Grass diamonds due to the older AstroTurf inserts (Rubbers are allowed). Anyone found wearing METAL CLEATS on turf outside the 4 areas allowed will incur a FINE of $50, this will be charged to the Club. Each Club will get a 1 Strike warning, then be fined from there on. 

Training at Rosedale - Diamonds at Rosedale are booked midweek and weekend for training.  If you wish to train privately please be mindful of those teams that have booked space for training. 

Public Holiday’s – There will be NO play on Labour Weekend, Auckland Anniversary Weekend 

Liquor License Laws - You cannot bring your own alcohol to training or to Rosedale Park. This is being closely monitored by the Police and Liquor Licensing Authority.  There will be no drinking of alcohol on the diamonds.  You can purchase alcohol from the Club bar, however this can only be drunk in the designated area. 

Default - Teams who default will be charged $200 from North Harbour Softball – this will be reinforced.  It is important if you are unable to play that you let your team manager so they can ensure you have enough players on the day. 


Please be advised that where there is nothing booked on a certain diamond, please do not assume it is available as there may be other items booked there that do no pertain to Softball Trainings
