Why play ball at Rotunda Fields? We are located in East Dearborn on Rotunda Drive. Our complex is run by Ford Employees who volunteer their time to make sure we have a softball program at Ford. There is no charge for parking or gate admission for league play. Also, teams are allowed to bring their own food and beverage to the complex. There is a covered pavilion with BBQ grills, plus picnic tables around the complex.
League game start times vary from 5:20pm to 7:40pm very few games have a start time later than 7:40pm the number of games varies by league (varying between 15 and 25 games). The leagues will start at the beginning of May and finish in August. Here are the specifics for the M/W/Th Ford men's leagues:
You may have as many people on your roster as you think you need. Teams are allowed non Ford players--there is no restriction on how many.
Men's leagues start at 5:30pm/6:00pm and games could be scheduled as late as 7:40pm (not many of those). Game time is 1 hour 5 minutes (no inning may start after…). Some single games with many DHs during the season.
Team entry Fee for M/W/TH men's leagues is $675.00 plus the umpire, who is paid on the field. We play a 19-22 game regular season schedule, plus a tournament (involving the teams from M-W-TH) at the end of the season.
The 1st manager's meeting for the men’s M/W/Th leagues is in April 2018, time and place TBD (however, attendance is NOT required).
If you are a player looking for a team, have a full team, or just a partial team that you want to keep together, send your contact information, along with a brief resume and the kind of team/league you are looking for, and we will forward your name/team on to our Managers. All ability levels of players are welcome. We attempt to set up divisions so that teams play other similar ability teams. FESA does not assign players to teams, but almost all players looking for a team are signed by a team. So come out and play! It's the great American pastime!
Get more information by contacting FESA President Mike Parsons (parsons@provide.net, 734-904-8496), or any of the secretaries listed above.
