All of our 18U and 16U events will be college showcase events. We will be sending out schedules and rosters of the teams to college softball programs. You can also assist us by letting colleges know about our events. Our policy for teams playing up is that we will not allow a team to play three years up in our events unless we have to fill a spot. For teams wanting to do this, I will put you on a waiting list.

Rules Parents Should Know
- On Saturday the building will be open & the facility will be open to players twenty minutes before game time. Parents will be able to come 10 mins before. This gives us time to set-up.
- On Sunday the building will open up at 8:15. We will let players & parents in at 8:20.
- Lastly please make sure that if you are bringing other children that they stay by you. The Sinclair police have asked me to tell you this because too many times there are kids wandering all over the building and sometimes not doing what they should be. Please remember that this is a college campus and let’s try to respect that.
