South Island Softball League is a semi-competitive fun league for orthodox softball. Games are played at Centennial Park located in Central Saanich.
Orthodox Softball is a style of softball similar to fast pitch and slow pitch. The difference being that the pitcher will use a pendulam or figure 8 motion pitching the ball at higher speeds than slow pitch.
In Orthodox Softball, the ball is pitched underhand in a straight or flat line using a ‘figure-eight’ or bowling motion. Pitchers are prohibited from using a ‘windmill’ or ‘sling-shot’ style; as a result, the speed of the pitch is limited. Also commonly known as Modified Softball because of the modifications made to the pitching rules, Orthodox Softball strikes a balance between Fast Pitch and Slo-Pitch Softball.
