We are excited to be sharing some information about a summer softball opportunity for our 10u and 12u softball players! A group of us have been working on coordinating a travel team program that can work cohesively with our FLL season. The teams will be called Fairport Fury! Note, that these teams are not legally affiliated with FLL, but do have a partnership with FLL, with the coaches and players being directly from Fairport Little League. Also- there was a Fairport Fury team in the past, coached by Steve Kull. We are carrying on the name with our new 10u and 12u teams of players!
We are sending this to our Micros, Minors and Majors registrants to let everyone know about this opportunity this year and for future years. If your daughter is interested in trying out, we are asking you to Register below, which will help us with planning!
When/Where:
- The weekday league schedule: The team will play in the summer Victor Vipers league in Victor, on Wednesday nights, running from the end of June through mid July.
- The tournament schedule:
1) GLOW Darien 12u Tournament; Fri June 30 - Sun July 2nd (Games played the Batavia and Pembrooke area)
2) Victor Vipers 12u Tournament; Fri July 7 - Sun July 9th (Games played in Victor)
3) Clarence 12u Tournament; Fri Aug 4 - Sun Aug 6th (Games played in Clarence, NY)
- The practice schedule: The team will coordinate practices about twice a week at FLL.
Cost:
- The Cost will be around $450 per player, to cover the uniform cost, league fee, tournament fees, and team insurance. We are looking into a potential sponsor, and we can investigate opportunities to fundraise, if desired. Note, two of the tournaments are about an hour away. Families can book hotels on their own, if desired, as some games may run later on Friday night, or early on Sat or Sunday morning. More details and options on that to follow. We are also looking into purchasing customized softball bags, which would also be an additional cost to those who are interested.
Try-Out:
- The try-out date will be in April or early May. More specifics on this will come later. We are looking into an indoor Sunday tryout, to ensure we don't get rained out. Considering the summer league starts immediately after the FLL season ends, we need to have the team
