April 8, 2026 at 8:11 AMCancelledStaff vs Student Softball GameDO2 Max Club04/08/202605/01/2026A fun and friendly softball event for all students and staff at LECOM. As the year is coming to an end we want to use this as an opportunity to bring all of LECOM together before many of us go away for the summer. Thus we are planning on hosting a softball game against willing faculty to lift the spirits of all participants as we near the end of this long semester. It can also be a social event where we can have food for sale like typical baseball or softball items like cracker jacks, chips, and bubble gum as a fundraising opportunity with everyone not participating just coming to watch the game and socialize! These will be purchased from Sam's Club using our clubs funds and sold at a food stand by our board members that are not participating. This event will be a 7 inning softball game between staff and students located at the softball field on campus. The initial date will be Friday May 1st at 6 pm with a rainout date of May 8th also at 6 pm. The game will last all 7 innings, 2 hours, or until it gets too dark to see whichever comes first. I, Tyler Weber, have experience being a softball umpire and will do so for this game unless another staff member or student would like to step in and do so. Gloves will not be supplied so that will be on each participating individual to bring their own. Bats and balls will be supplied for the game. Staff and students will sign up via a google form which will be sent out 2 weeks before the event and close 3 days before. If there are not enough staff that sign up their team will be filled with students to make a complete team. Teams will be maxed out at 16 participants to allow for substitutions (this number may be extended). If we have more students or staff to sign up than slots available we will attempt to accommodate if possible, but in the instance that it is not we will select participants based off a random lottery which will take place once the google form has closed. The random lottery will be completed by a 3rd party with no involvement in the event to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process. All selected participants will be notified via email within 24 hours of the lottery being completed, along with any additional details regarding game logistics, arrival time, and expectations for participation. To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, all participants will be expected to adhere to basic sportsmanship guidelines and any campus policies in place. Waivers may be required prior to participation, and we will coordinate with campus administration to ensure all necessary approvals, risk management considerations, and event support are in place. Overall we aim to produce a fun environment for all to attend!
