Virginia Fast Pitch Tournament Schedule

SoftballNation Registration:
   All teams participating in a SoftballNation Sanctioned event must be registered for the 2008 season.  You can register your team through your local director or you can do it directly online at www.sportsnation.org .  The Team Registration fee for 2008 is  $25 for the entire calendar year.  All teams must have proof of team insurance and completed rosters with photocopied birth certificates available to EACH tournament director. 

Age Cutoff Date:  Age Cut-off date is Dec. 31 (Whatever age the player is on Dec. 31st 2007 is the age at which she may compete in 2008).

Qualifying for the Fast Pitch Nationals
: 
Teams may qualify for the Fast Pitch Nationals by one of the following ways:
** Participate in  Two (2) SoftballNation Sanctioned tournaments prior to the Fast Pitch Nationals.
** Win a SoftballNation Sanctioned Tournament with 8 or more teams in your respective age group.
** Be the Highest Finishing Team from your respective state in a SoftballNation Designated N.I.T. Event
** Participate in the SoftballNation Virginia State Championship Tournament (2007 Queen of The Hill) 

N.I.T. (National Invitational Tournament) Events:
An NIT is a tournament that has proven to be a more popular event with better competition and traditionally draws teams from a wider region.  The significance of an NIT is that the highest finishing team from your state in your age group receives an automatic berth to the Fast Pitch Nationals.  Depending on the event, there may also be more prizes and possible travel expenses for the Fast Pitch Nationals.

ALL teams are eligible to play in the Virginia State Championship.  

Tournament Fees:
All fees must be paid in advance. 

Attention: Teams playing in Richmond tournaments.  
Richmond Area Hotels:  To make sure your team is staying near the fields where you will be playing, we encourage you to 
use the SoftballNation Richmond Sports Housing Bureau: Outer Zone Sports:  www.outerzonesports.com .   You can reach them at 
(800) 374-9310 or (804) 378-9310.  They will place your team in a hotel near your fields.


16u 18u Teams: 
Varsity Spring Series:  We've established a few dates for one day tournaments in Richmond for 16u and 18u teams.
This is to accommodate any teams that may have varsity practice or game obligations on Saturdays but could play on Sundays.
The tournaments will be three game guarantees and the size of the events will be limited to ensure completion in one day.
