Thornton Parks, Recreation & Community Programs is still hoping to run our Girls Softball program this summer. Practices, originally scheduled to begin the week of April 27 will be pushed back due to the ongoing Stay-at-Home order. By the end of April we should have more defined guidelines as to what rules will be in place once the Stay-at-Home order is lifted. These updated guidelines will help dictate the modifications that will need to be made to the program, as well as help us plan an alternate timeline for the league. Registration for girls softball is going on now at webtrac.ThorntonCO.gov. Fees: $85R/$102NR (*$45R/$54NR) Fee includes a t-shirt, games and a pool party. (If this program is cancelled, all participant registration fees will be refunded.) ~ Updated Wednesday, April 15, 2020
