Upcoming Tournaments

I have been exploring our next couple of tournament options, and here is how it shakes out. USSSA Team Worth Shootout, Sumter on July 27, 28, looks like a good opportunity to play. At least six 16u teams will be competing and there will be some prizes, giveaways, apparel and awards package. I have spoken with the director and early next week he will know if it will be a one day or two day. I am also keeping an eye on an ASA tournament for that weekend which is a combined 18u/16u in Myrtle Beach and WFC in No. Charleston.  I would still like for us to play teams in our age group at this time however.  Plan on playing for sure, as we will know more details, first of next week.
    Beyond that, there is a WFC World Series tournament in MYRTLE BEACH from Tuesday through Saturday, August 6 to 10. Already eight 16u teams from NY, NJ, OH, MD and SC. Entry fee is is higher but no travel, gas, hotel or gate fee for spectators. Plenty of softball too! Three pool games then seeded double elimination. Pool games on Tuesday and Wednesday (one or two each day), bracket starts on Thursday. Games are played from 8 to 3:30. Saturday is for the top three teams to battle it out. www.playwfc.org. I would like to see us compete at this venue. I am not aware of any players being away or out of town that week. Please review this as I must sign up for this in the next week if we are all on board. This is a big tournament and should be a good test for us. Coach
