HEAT TEAMS
WELCOME TO THE HEAT TEAM PAGE
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE 5 TEAMS ATTEND PROVINCIALS THIS YEAR U11*, U13, U15, U17 & U19!
Our HEAT TEAMS are our tournament/travel/provincial team which is a development program for those Fastball athletes who are interested in a more competitive game experience and skill development. Travel teams will also have 3-4 weekends of game play as well as an opportunity to represent Zone 1 at provincials in early July.
*U11 is a starting point to learn more about competitive softball. We will be participating in tournaments in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Calgary and is designed as a fun way to be introduced into softball competition. There are no walks and the game is designed to get the ball into play. It is for beginner skill levels and we encourage everyone who is interested in learning more and having fun while doing it to come on out!
