Title

Haliimaile Softball League Maui, Hawaii

Description

The league was started in 1978 and is a league that is run by the players. It is a unique league that allows all players to participate whether they are a novice or semi-pro and teams to stay together and not be broken apart. We are sanctioned by the National Softball Association (NSA). Our umpires are all volunteers and are not paid for their duties. They do it for the sake of this unique league and, of course, take a lot of abuse at times. Good sportsmanship is our main concern besides having a full cooler of beer after finishing your game.

The league has a character of it's own. In particular, there is a hill on the 3rd base side of the diamond, called "Heckler's Hill" where it is legal (and fun) to heckle the players on the field with no remorse and no holds barred. If you finish the game without a heckle you're probably new to the league. We also take care of the field and each team has commission duties during the course of a season where it is their duty to run the games that day, including field maintainence, trash clean-up and supply umpires.

It's located about 2000 ft. up the side of a volcano - 10,024 Ft. "Mt. Haleakala" - in the Plantation Town of Haliimaile and is surrounded by Sugarcane and Pineapple fields. A unique part of the playing field is the fact that it is sunken and you observe the games from the hills that surround it. The other most noticeable landmark of the field are the giant Banyan and Monkey Pod tree's that were planted over 50 year's ago. Over the years the field has been worked by the league and is now one of the best fields on Maui. Each year at the beginning of the season we have a field work day. We do maintenance on the field and the result has been a field that is something to proud of.
