Orono Fastpitch

Welcome. The 2008 season is underway!

Spring/Summer teams have been formed!

Please see the Team Pages tab above for complete team information.

We would like to thank all players, parents and independent evaluators for making the try-outs a huge success. We have enough awesome players for 3-10U teams and 2-12U teams!

We have volunteer opportunities available. Some of the teams are still looking for a parent volunteer to be Team Manager. Responsibilities would include: compile team book, communicate via email to team members/parents, assist with tournament logistics and housekeeping duties as needed. For a complete "job description" please contact Lori DeLay at loridelay@mchsi.com.

Good luck to all teams this year and most importantly...HAVE FUN!!

GO ORONO!!

Orono Girls FastPitch strives to provide opportunities for personal growth and development of youth athletes while also reinforcing self-confidence, self-esteem and the ability to excel on and off the field.  Through participation Orono girl’s FastPitch is dedicated to educate and motivate each player while encouraging teamwork, community involvement, sportsmanship and fun through the spirit of FastPitch softball.

 

FastPitch Time Commitments: 


10U: The season begins the first week of May and will run through the state tournament in mid-July.  Teams will play a doubleheader each week, and will practice one night during the week.  Occasional additional practices may be called by the coach.  The teams may play in weekend tournaments, the league qualifier and the state tournament.  If the team qualifies for a national tournament the team will determine if it will attend. 

12U& 14U: The season begins the first week of May and will run through the state tournament in mid-July.  Teams will have two game nights per week consisting of doubleheaders. Occasional additional practices will likely be called by the coach.  The team will play in 3 or 4 weekend tournaments, the league qualifier and the state tournament.  If the team qualifies for a national tournament the Blue team is expected to attend.
 

For both 10U/12U teams, a round robin batting order, where all players bat, is used during league play.  Players will play a variety of positions, however at the Blue level, some specialization may begin to occur, and overall playing time will be balanced during the season.  At the 14U Blue level, greater position specialization occurs, however, players may still play a variety of positions.  In tournaments coaches will play the players in the positions that give both the player and the team the best chance of success.  Our coaches seek opportunities to place girls in positions where they can be successful.
