Mad River Mist Fall Ball Hotel Information

A Note from the Mist's Travel Coordinator, Valerie Neumeyer

So far I have secured hotel accommodations for our two tournaments. Both hotels offer a complimentary hot breakfast and have indoor pools and hot tubs.

Roseville Tournament - October 22-23
The most time sensitive hotel reservation is for our Roseville tournament for the weekend of October 22-23. The best discount group rates are made a month or more in advance. We have reservations at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott at Roseville for Friday and Saturday night. They are all 2-queen rooms and include a hot breakfast for $79 per night as long as you book by this Saturday, October 1st. Any reservations made October 2nd or later will be charged $104 per night, which is still a $10 discount off their regular rates. Not all rooms have microwave and refrigerator so please request one when booking. To book a room, please call the front desk directly at (916)772-3500 and use group code: MRM.

Fairfield Tournament - October 8-9
For the Fairfield tournament, we have reservations at Comfort Suites Vacaville for Friday and Saturday night. They are all 2-queen rooms and include a hot breakfast for $85 per night. All rooms have a microwave and refrigerator. They would only give us this rate by me securing all the rooms with my credit card so I will be cancelling any unclaimed rooms on Wednesday, October 5th. Please make sure you reserve your room before then. To book a room, please call the front desk directly at (707)446-3000 and reference our group name: Mad River Mist.

Please feel free to contact Valarie directly if you have any questions or need assistance making your reservations. She can be reached through the Mad River ASA facebook page or by email (address can be found on previous Mist emails)

Updates from the Mist

1) The 12u's will be practicing on Tuesdays at Hiller Park from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and Sunday's from 3:00 to 5:30 pm at Winship School. Additionally, any 12u who cannot attend Tuesday's practice or who want extra practice can attend the Thursday evening 16u practice listed below.

2) The 16u's will be practicing on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and Sundays from 9:30 am-12:30 pm at Eureka High School.

3) As of Sept. 20th, all players should have a $50 registration deposit on file. By October 1st, the remaining $100 registration fee is due, along with a $35 uniform deposit (one time fee for new players). If you have any question about where you stand with registration fees, please speak with one of the Coaches or email us at madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com .

4) The 16u's are still looking for a few more players to fill their roster! If you participated on the summer 14u or 16u and would be interested in being a "pick up player", please let us know! This means you are available for maybe one tournament but can't necessarily commit to the whole season.

5) The teams we expected to participate in our fall ball home tourney have not been as fortunate as we have in assembling fall ball teams. As a result, we are developing a backup plan to get our third tournament in, possibly adding an additional travel date. All players should have received a “Fall Ball Dates” feedback form. Please fill out this form, which can be downloaded off this site, and return to your Coaches or email to madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com by next Sunday’s (Sept 25th) practice. Thank you!

5) Also on our Blog Page you will find order forms for the Epically Fabulous Glitter Headbands and Mad River Mist Spirit Apparel. All orders need to be returned by October 1st as the group order will be placed on October 2nd. Payment also needs to be included upon return of the completed forms. Thank you!

6) If you have any questions regarding this exciting new ASA Fastpitch program, which is open to all girls in the Humboldt County area, please ask or drop us an email! Thank you!
