Next Weekend's Tournament
The next tournament will be next weekend in Belton, Missouri. It is a C tournament, so I'm curious to see the level of competition we will face.
The games will be played @ Markey Park. Here is how I would go: If you take 68 Hiway E. and just go through Louisburg and continue East, you will come to D Hiway: Take it North to 58 Hi-way. It is a 4-way stop and there is a BBQ place on the corner.
Take a right and go east. As you go into Belton, there is a series of round-a-bouts that you go through. About the 3rd one is Westover Rd. Go north to Markey Road and take a left and go W. to the complex.
It sounds complicated, but is only 25 or 30 minutes from my home, so no worries mate!!
Schedule will be ready Wed. by noon.

Nice Job Everyone
I was very proud of our team this weekend. Our pitching and defense was pretty good most of the time, and in the Sunday game it was excellent. Our bunt defense and our pitching was beyond any expectations I had for this young team.
We will keep working hard and getting better.

VIP Series – ASA
Blue Valley Recreational Complex – Overland Park, KS
4-Game Guarantee
“The VIP Series is a series of 4 tournaments and the VIP Fall Classics is a series of 4 tournaments and are designed for “participation” or “recreation” teams. A participation/recreation team is defined as any team who participates in an ASA sanctioned league in the Kansas City Area whose activities is limited to their league. These teams do not participate in tournaments outside of their league association. Teams outside the KC Metro area will be considered upon proof of their being a recreational team.
Our goal is to provide a softball tournament series for the non-competitive teams to participate against other non-competitive teams. Participation/recreational teams now have a tournament to compete in without having to compete against “A” or “B” tournament teams. While nurturing an environment of fun, it also gives an overall tournament experience to the players. Our priority is to provide a fun and lasting experience for the recreational softball player.
It is our intention to spread the tournaments around the Kansas City Metro area when complexes are available. This will give all teams an opportunity to have a tournament at least near by. An attempt will be made to host half of the tournaments in Missouri and half of the tournaments in Kansas for the VIP Series, July 4th and Fall Classics.
The format is a 4 game guarantee. Three “pool” games will be played on Friday and/or Saturday. Sunday will start a single elimination bracket. There will not be Friday night games unless warranted by the number of teams entered. There will be a daily gate fee. Schedules will be posted on website by Wednesday evening or as early as possible.”
