Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can my child join the OC Bombers?

    We hold our annual tryouts (usually the third week of July) that you can attend. If you miss the annual tryouts, you can request a private tryout by contacting the owner, Gina Marchese to see if there’s any room for an additional player.

  • What equipment does my child need to play?

    Your child will need a glove, face mask (age-specific required), bat, softball pants, softball socks, cleats, and sneakers or turf shoes.

    Our teams start over each year. Tryouts are in July, and everyone, including returning players, needs to come to tryouts. Our season ranges from August to August.

  • What is the cost of registration, and are there any additional fees?

    There are no fees for tryouts. The cost for each season varies slightly. You will need to contact Gina Marchese for exact amounts.
