A new era has begun for EP Fastpitch: offseason domeball!

EP 10U and 12U players have been practicing for almost a month now, and competed, for the first time (November 2, 2019), in games in a domeball league, during what is normally the softball offseason! We hope that the extra hitting and fielding reps, and the additional game experience will go a long way for you next spring!

Congratulations and good luck this season!

• practices once-weekly (2 hr sessions, OCT-JAN)
• domeball season (8 double header games, NOV-JAN)
• domeball tournament (3-game minimum)

This should account for a lot of skill development in the offseason, approx:

• 45 hrs of skill development in practices and pre-game warmups
• 19 hrs of game experience
