Registration begins for 2021 IWSL season

Registration has begun for the Iowa Women's Softball League for the 2021 campaign next summer.

Everyone who played in the IWSL this year will get a 50 percent  discount if they register by Sept. 30. Instead of paying the player fee of $100, you will pay only $50 to secure a spot for next year.

If you ultimately decide not to play in 2021, you will receive a full refund with no questions asked. If you think you might want to play, it's better to claim a spot now for half-price and not worry about it  later.

The 50 percent discount applies to everyone who was assigned to a team  for the entire 2020 campaign and to substitutes as well, even if you played in only one game all year.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

The player fee will be $75 for everyone - returning players and new  players - from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31. The fee will be $100 for everyone who registers from Jan. 1 through the start of the season.

The registration process is the same as usual. Go to  MetroSportsReport.com and click on the registration link that  accompanies this story. Have a credit card handy to pay through PayPal.
