Attn 12u Players, Parents and Coaches!

We received some crazy news this evening...Newburg Field #2 is NOT playable per City of Fortuna Parks and Recreation Office due to the field being saturated from recent rains.  As a result, all Newburg Field #2 games scheduled for Sat the 30th will be played at Fortuna High School.  No game times are impacted...it is simply a location change.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause but at the same time so thankful for the people who made Fortuna High School  happen so that we could still play! 

Opening Tourney - Fri 4/29 thru Sun 5/1

The Opening Tournament Pool Play and Bracketing is ready for dissemination as are the League and Tournament Rules.  We are pleased to share that Redwood Fastpitch will be joining us again for the tournament this year.  There are many teams, fields and details that we manage when running tournaments of this magnitude.  The #1 thing we need to stress is that our kids are doing what they love...  so please provide positivity, enthusiasm, support, and courtesy for all players, coaches, umpires, and tournament staff irrespective of the outcome of the game. Teaching good sportsmanship to the youth in our community is our top priority!   Thank you!

Opportunity!!!  We just don't have enough funds yet to outfit ALL teams the way we want to!  As a result, you should be hearing about a hit-a-thon soon if you have not already!  Please help us "up our game" by seeking sponsors/donations so that we can provide newer and better equipment and access to more tools to train these girls!  :)
