Secondary School Softball Competition
Game Day App
SS Grades will be using the Game Day App, please check this out on our website under Sporty. This does not replace the scoresheet, we still want our scorers to continue their upskilling and we still require these sheets for ground registrations. Please note you need someone to download the App on their phone, it is important that someone from your team attend this training.
