12 & Under ASA Travel Team Forming! Tryouts Saturday 5/30 and Sunday 5/31

Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball Association is forming a 12 & Under ASA Travel Team for the summer.

Tryouts for this team will be held on Saturday, May 30th and Sunday, May 31st from 10:00 to 11:30 am at the Arcata Sports Complex. Interested players need attend only one of the two days for skill assessments.

The player's age on December 31, 2008 determines their ASA eligibility.

The travel ball season will run from mid-June through mid-August with three practices per week.

Any local 12U player is eligible.

Let the Games Begin: Championship Tournaments Begin on June 1st!

Schedules for our annual end-of-season tournaments are now online. (Check the links on the right.)

A double-elimination tournament for all teams in the 10U, 12U and 16U divisions begins on Monday, June 1st. Championship games for the 12U and 16U divisions will be held at Winship School on Saturday, June 6th. The 10U division plays their Championship game at the Arcata Sports Complex on Wednesday, June 10th in Arcata. All games begin at 6:00 pm.

Schedule adjustments as of 5/10/09

Revised schedules reflecting last week's rainouts are posted on the league website and available now. Changes effect games as soon as tomorrow, Monday 5/11. The Master Schedule and individual division schedules should match.

Please look over the revised schedules closely. It is the coaches' responsibility to communicate the changes to your teams.

8 Under Division: No changes to the existing schedules. The rained out interleague games will not be rescheduled.

10 Under Division: There were changes reflecting rainouts.

12 Under Division: There were changes to adjust for rainouts and schedule conflicts.

16 Under Division: There are no changes to the remainder of the schedule.

We've tried to fit in as many rescheduled games as we could. In some cases, either coaches' requests or field availability left me without good options for rescheduling. Changes from here on out will take place on a case by case basis. With just three weeks remaining in the season, and fields and umpires in short supply, please understand that we may not be able to make up each and every game.

Thank you all for your support and patience as we find times for games missed due to weather or school conflicts.

Remember that a post-season championship tournament for the 10U, 12U and 16U divisions will take place during the week of June 1st.
