Back games (or 2 games in a day) would be a challenge because pitching at this age is still developing and I think with restricted pitching innings it could be hard for teams.

Ann,

                My softball people , really think it’s to early, some of our schools may not be done, and with the wind bomb there will lose days, and we will have to make them up , and we may have snow days, to early to tell . I can’t tell you that we will compete in the tournament as of now. I know it’s hard to get leagues to take a tournament but as for D-9 we would see if the tournament dates can be changed.

                Thank you,

I have adjusted the state matrix to these dates.

Hello fellow DAs,

 

For those of you who were not in CA last Saturday you were missed.

 

As I stated some time ago, I could not confirm the 8-10 State Softball dates until I found a host league and we worked out our tournament schedule.  I believe we have completed this as best as we can at this time.  We have decided to hold the 8-10 State SB tournament June 28 - July 3.  This is what works best for the host league.

 

Yes, this is early and most tournaments that don't advance past state are later in July.  However, we believe by holding this tournament earlier we will avoid the rush of state tournaments which start July 5 and the other four that start the next two weekends.  We also believe if we get this tournament done early players will be free to join other age-appropriate teams if they are needed.

 

We are going to have some double headers (two games in a day but they may not be back to back) to shorten the tournament from nine days to six.  Travel is expensive and we want to help the families out as much as we can.
