Welcome!
Welcome to one of the many fun roles in a tee-ball or softball team - the role of team scorer.
You help make the playing experience better for the players and help the coaches by recording on scoresheets what is happening during a game.
Viti Flanagan is the Scorer Co-ordinator. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with her on [email protected] with any queries or ideas.

Resources to help with this role:
The basics you need when scoring are:
- A scorebook
- Fine width blue or black, red and green pens, mechanical pencils
- Narrow twink type white out
- Eraser if using a pencil
- A ruler (plastic protractors work well and don't break as easily)
- One of the above resource manuals for quick reference
- Post it notes for jotting down queries or game plays when things happen quickly
- A hard shell clip board box for keeping your gear in and for a hard writing surface
- Not essential but useful is the Softball NZ Rule Book available from Harbour Softball or the Gear Shop on Saturdays. Click here for a link to an electronic copy at Softball NZ.
Where you sit in the NZ Scorers’ scheme of things
- Level 1 = actively scoring (most team scorers… probably YOU)
- Level 2 = passed the NZ Scorers theory exam
- Level 3 = passed the NZ Scorers practical exam
- Level 4 = passed the NZ Scorers badge practical exam
- Levels 5 - 7 = promotion to and retainment is based upon assessments
You can go as far as you want and most are quite happy at Level 1.
Harbour Softball Scorers' Clinics
We strongly encourage you to attend the Harbour Scorers' clinics at least once on Wednesday nights in the Rosedale Room under the stadium from 6pm to around 7.30pm. Stay as long as you want and go as often as you want. It is fully flexible and caters for all abilities. It is a great forum for sharing queries and learning from other scorer's queries. Bring your scorebook.
