THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORM IS TO SEE HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE INTERESTED IN HEAT SOFTBALL SO WE CAN DETERMINE HOW MANY TEAMS WE MAY HAVE AND HOW MANY COACHES WE MAY NEED. JUST SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE QUESTIONS.
INFORMATION ON OUR PROGRAM IS AS FOLLOWS. ONCE WE KNOW WHAT NUMBERS WE ARE LOOKING AT WE WILL THEN SET UP TRYOUTS DATES AND TIMES.
WE ARE 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. There is opportunity for 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!
Players who want to play travel ball will need to meet the requirements of one of the following: 1)play in house league, 2)umpire, 3)coach a league team. (Additional options for U17/U19 players)
The season for the provincial teams runs from Apr - mid July. Practices/games take place usually Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Calgary have combined to bring tournament play at a lower cost by each hosting a round robin exhibition style weekend where each team plays 4 games (2 sat, 2 sun). We call this SASS - Southern Alberta Softball Series. Teams at these tournaments are C/D level.
