Description
The Stingrays 9u is a developmental program for girls desire to begin the transition to travel Fastpitch softball. The Stingrays 9u will provide a higher level of instruction in place of a typical house/recreational league team. Ideally participation on the Stingrays 9u would replace the player’s normal house/recreational team schedule.
Participation
No formal tryouts will be required to participate in the program. However, players will be approved by the developmental program coaches. The Stingrays 9u is intended to be the next step beyond a house level program and would not necessarily be appropriate for a first time softball player. If you have questions about whether the program is appropriate for your daughter, please feel free to contact Coach Tom Martin for an assessment.
