Welcome to the Grafton Diamonds Home Page
The Grafton Diamonds is a division of Grafton Girls Softball that goes beyond our recreational program. Through the Diamonds, players have the opportunity to play in a more competitive environment during the summer months. The Grafton Diamonds compete at four age levels: 10U, 12U U14 and U16. We usually field a tournament team and a TVL team at each level. The Diamonds program is open to all girls in grades 2 thru 10 who are interested in trying out to play competitive softball. Try outs are scheduled towards the end of each tournament season to decide on players for the following year.
Tournament Teams - Tournament teams play weekend tournaments during the months of June and July. Most tournaments are within a one hour drive of Grafton. Being part of a Grafton Diamonds tournament team is a large commitment for both players and parents. Our tournament teams practice over the winter months at various indoor facilities. Starting in April, the teams hold outdoor practices on Saturdays at Nelson until the rec season is over and then they move to two weeknights. Tournaments are played Fridays-Sundays. Teams may play anywhere from four tournaments (at the 10U level) to six tournaments per season (12U, 14U, 16U) each summer.
TVL Teams - The Grafton Diamonds TVL teams play in the Twin Valley League which is comprised of teams from towns throughout Central MA.Teams play two weeknight games per week for six weeks from mid-June (after school ends) thru July. Home games are at Nelson and away games are usually within 15-45 minutes from Grafton. Starting in April, teams hold outdoor practices on Saturdays until rec season is over, and then they move to weeknights. The TVL team is an excellent option for girls that want to start out in the Diamonds program, gain confidence while playing competitively, or that have other commitments on weekends.
