Registration for all teams in the 2024 Eden Prairie Fastpitch Softball program opens on:
The registration deadline for summer teams is 11:59:59pm Sunday, February 18, 2024.
When the Parent Information Meetings have concluded; you may find (or download) the PowerPoint presentation (link not ready).
We will be hosting "Coach Bayer's Fastpitch Camp" in January, conducted by EPHS Softball Varsity Assistant Head Coach, Jim Bayer, featuring instruction from players of the EPHS Softball team. This will be a fun night for girls to attend!
EP Fastpitch does not conduct "tryouts". All girls interested in playing fastpitch are placed on a team. Each spring, players are evaluated for the skills they possess and the evaluation scores will assist us when creating teams. To prepare your daughter for the Player Evaluations, we will conduct a "Evaluation Preview" Clinic to take players through the same skill tests we use during Evaluations so they know what to expect. Player Evaluation Preview Clinics will occur on the following days:
More information about our "Evaluation Preview" Clinic will be posted by early February.
The 2023 Player Evaluations will be conducted on:
Attendance for Player Evaluations is mandatory. Details for Player Evaluations will be provided by mid-February. If, for any reason, you are unable to attend Player Evaluations on this date, contact us.
Look for more information on our website and Facebook page regarding these events, nearer to the actual dates.
After receiving Player Evaluation scoring data, EP Fastpitch will sort through the results to determine the best way to assemble teams. They should complete forming softball teams prior to Spring Break.
Announcements to families regarding the roster will not be made until coaches are found, certified and assigned to teams. It is our goal to have the team's head coach communicate with teams during Spring Break timing.
Players unable to participate in Player Evaluations will be placed to teams at the discretion of the EP Fastpitch Softball Directors.
After teams are formed and coaches are organized, we hope to arrange time and space for coaches to conduct indoor practices (usually at a nearby elementary school gym). Indoor practices will be anticipated to begin the week after Spring Break.
The City of Eden Prairie will determine when teams will be allowed to use the fields for outdoor practices. Historically, this tends to occur mid-April.
