Registration Extended Thru March 6th


Thank you to everyone who attended the assessments yesterday and registered with our league!  Wednesday night the board will be getting together to start the team distributions!  Our goal is to have teams rockin' and rollin' the week of March 18th.  Jamboree and picture day is much earlier this year so mark your calendars for April 6th if you are South County and April 7th if you are East and North counties!  Because our meeting will not occur until Wednesday we have decided to keep registration open until 11:59 p.m. on March 5th!  So, if you know anyone who is thinking about signing up but thinks they have missed the deadline please let them know ASAP!  Thanks so much!

ONSITE REGISTRATION & ASSESSMENTS - SUNDAY MARCH 3rd

Don't forget the 2019 Humboldt Fastpitch Softball Registration deadline closes this Sunday, March 3rd at midnight!  If you have not yet registered, please consider pre-registering online, however, computers will be onsite at assessments for your convenience!

Assessments will be held March 3rd at McKinleyville High School, rain or shine!  Please bring cleats and tennis shoes for both conditions.  8u players DO NOT assess UNLESS they are petitioning to play at the 10u age bracket.  Any player petitioning up should attend the time bracket of the age division they would like to play.  Otherwise all players from 10u, 12u, and 14/16u are expected to assess.  Outlying areas, however, like Hoopa, Willow Creek, and Southern Humboldt are exempt from attending the assessments.  

 The time break down for the assessments at Mckinleyville High School are as follows:

10u = 9:30 a.m.

12u = 10:30 a.m.


14/16u = 11:30 a.m.

 Thank you!

March 3rd Softball Assessments at Mac High

The Humboldt Fastpitch Recreation Program's Annual Softball Assessments for all age groups (except 8u) for the 2019 season will be March 3rd at McKinleyville High School, come RAIN OR SHINE.  Although we don't assess players at the 8u level (meaning age 8 and under), all players looking to petition up in age divisions MUST ATTEND the age group they are requesting to play in. For example, an 8u player petitioning up to play in the 10u (age 10 and under division) would need to attend the 10u assessment.  Assessments will occur in the morning and last thru early afternoon, with specific time brackets for each age group to be released soon, so stay tuned!  

If you haven't registered, please do so ASAP as it helps YOUR not-for-profit organization's ALL VOLUNTEER staff to prepare for the 2019 season.  With your support, here's what Humboldt Fastpitch was able to accomplish in 2018:
  • registered nearly 400 players scattered throughout Humboldt County,
  • created 34 teams in 4 different age divisions, 
  • more teams provided a greater diversity in matchups in regular season games, 
  • access to and play on 14 different fields,
  • held two separate weekend tournaments, 
  • provided all participants with a Humboldt Fastpitch T-shirt, and  
  • worked collaboratively with the Pacific Union School District to build a new field for the organization for the 2019 season. 
Thank you all, parents and players, for making the Humboldt Fastpitch Recreation Program, its parent organization Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball, and its competitive travel program, the Mad River Mist, the largest and oldest not-for-profit, Youth ASA/USA Softball organization in Humboldt County!
