Welcome Kaitlyn Crane as our new 11U manager this coming season! Kaitlyn and her husband Shawn have coached 3 years of 8U softball, 2 years of 10U softball, and 2 years with the Diamond Divas tournament team! Both are still active in men's, women's and co-ed softball as well!

We just received a text from Boardman that fields are closed today. Therefore as per our plan, we are simply shifting today's (8/4/20) tryout session to tomorrow (8/5/20). Same location, same times! Tomorrow is supposed to be much better weather-wise as well! We'll see everyone tomorrow!

Today's forecast is not showing any rain, especially as the day progresses! Therefore, we don't anticipate any issues with Boardman Field of Dreams today.

We will update this site and Facebook with any updates IF anything would change!

Thanks!

SESSION 1 - COMPLETE!

We wish to send a big THANK YOU to all the players and their families who came to our first try out session on 8/5. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate on 8/4, but the amount of players that still came out on 8/5 was great to see! 130 players and counting, have registered online for our tryouts this year, with many others just showing up! Once again, thank you very much for all your interest in the Ohio Blast! It certainly doesn't go unnoticed and it is truly appreciated!!
