text: where can i find info on joining an 18 under softball team in the bay area?   try the bulletin boards at eteamz.com: http://eteamz.active.com/fastpitch/announcements   you can also get a list of teams from your asa and afa affiliates and call around to see if teams are looking for players.  if you're under 18, i'd assume you're playing high school ball - if your school has a decent program, your high school coach should be able to help.  go to a local tournament, teams often post announcements about looking for players.  your best bet to find a team is at the end of the high school season at this point because most teams are looking for players to compete in the summer.  however, it's best to find a team is right after the summer season ends.
