In Recreation leagues there should be no tryout at all, everyone who wants to play, can. Play is limited to your own league except when team numbers are limited but always within your division. C will not play B, and so forth.
In the "A" division the team head coach is the sole determining factor in acceptance. That is because it is a competition league and he is looking for special talent, it is also a pay as you go type arrangement where the team plays in only tournaments and the costs for travel and such are absorbed by the families of it's participants.
This can all be very expensive but it is the best way to go if you want to play in college, keep looking for the best team and improving yourself until you are able to make it as a member.

There is no limit to the drop; that only applies to baseball. The only requirement for a softball bat to be used in high school softball is that it must be ASA (Amateur Softball Association) approved and so marked on the bat. The current marking is the phrase ASA 2004 inside the outline of a home plate.
An approved bat is a bat that has been tested and is approved by ASA. ASA stands for the Amateur Softball Association. Bats that are approved will have a stamp towards the cap of the bat that looks like home plate and it will have a year in it.
