Overview
Clairemont Surf is an opportunity for dedicated players to gain additional competitive softball experience outside of the All-Star season for divisions 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U. This is not a replacement for Spring/Rec Season participation, but in addition to the Spring/Rec Season, and all players interested/invited to participate on a Clairemont Surf team must be registered for the 2024 CGFP Spring/Rec Season by 01/01/2024. All Clairemont Surf teams must be disbanded by March 31st of that same year. No Clairemont Surf team may be re-formed after this date without CGFP Board approval.
How to form a Clairemont Surf Team?
Members must be able to show they have a high level of softball knowledge, coaching experience, player respect and composed demeanor in a competitive atmosphere. They must be able to commit to the additional requirements and time needed to field a Clairemont Surf team.

Manager Responsibilities
The Clairemont Surf manager will be responsible for coordinating team selection, overall team management, tournament registration, and correspondence with his/her team and the CGFP Board as well as collection of all fees for the above. All fees/costs for this select season will be collected from the players by the manager and it is his/her responsibility to ensure those fees are used entirely for their Clairemont Surf team.
They will need to make sure their team is always following the CGFP Code of Conduct and representing the league in a favorable and sportsmanlike manner. They will also be required to make sure their players are also attending their Spring/Rec practices and games. Failure to satisfy any of the above requirements can result in disqualification from future managing opportunities.
