Sorry for the delay, we had to wait to finalize dates because they resurfaced the Fieldhouse. We have a few changes but nothing major. Before I get a bunch of emails, I know that our High Schools Showcase event is the same weekend as the Ohio High School Softball Convention. This really isn't an issue since we can't start on Saturday until 2:40 and the event is over or wrapping up before then. With game two starting at 4:10, I don't see that as an issue. As always, please send questions to Stephen.Dintaman@Sinclair.edu. Thanks

Sinclair Community College will host six indoor softball tournaments during the months of January and February. The indoor tournaments will be held in the 38,000 square foot Sinclair Community College Fieldhouse.
This event allows teams to play real softball! Nine on Nine! Each age group will use your age appropriate base and mound dimensions. All teams will play three games of six innings and/or one hour and twenty-five minute time limit. No inning will be started after one hour and fifteen minutes. Games will start Saturday at 2:30pm and the last game will be at 6:00pm on Sunday.
