Edison Recreation is accepting team applications for its summer softball program beginning Feb. 7. The league is open to all adults 18 years and older and has no residency requirement. The program consists of a men’s league, which will play on specific nights, Monday through Thursday, and a women’s league, which will play on a specific night as requested by the majority of women’s team applicants. A new Friday night men’s league is being considered and will depend upon the number of teams applying for it. All applications are due back on or before March 7. For additional information and for applications, call 732-248-7312.
