Try-outs:

Will be held March 18th at Park Center High School between 1 and 8pm (check back in early March for age group schedule.) Catcher & pitcher tryouts will be held during the last ½ hour of each age group.
There will be a limited opportunity for make-up try-outs on March 20th between 6-8pm.
All try-outs are “closed” – only players, coaches and independent evaluators will be allowed in the gym.
Details on the try-out and team forming processes can be found on the Fast Pitch Documents page - HERE.
Teams will typically consist of 10 - 12 players. We will do our best to form as many teams as possible to allow every applicant a chance to play. However, it is important to understand that if there are not enough players to form a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th team, some players may be unable to make a team.
In that event the registration fee will be refunded and we will attempt to help the player find a team in another city or in the Slow Pitch league.

Concussion Information:

Last year, Minnesota passed a law requiring coaches to take a special training course to recognize and respond to potential concussions. The link to this training course is found on the Fast Pitch Documents page - click HERE. For parents and athletes that want more information about what the signs and risks of concussion are, please click HERE.
