Skills Competitions will take place, mainly, on fields 5 and 6 from 8:30 – 11:30 PM. There will be a availability for the older players (14U and older) on fields 1 and 2 from 12:45 – 2:00 and a small window from 8:30 – 9:00 on fields 7 and 8. Players can compete at any time during the that window, when they are not playing. For those with the later games, we recommend you come earlier than your warm-up/game time to have an opportunity to complete.
Each player can do each drill ONE time only. They do not have to do all competitions.
We will have a leaderboard where players can check throughout the day to see where they placed and who the top ranked players are. This can be accessed via the USSSA App.
We will award medals to the top 2 finishers in each skill by age division.
| THROWING COMPETITION – No Sign up Required – Arrive at the scheduled time or risk being unable to participate | |||||||||||||||||
| Each participant will receive 1 throw. Participants will throw from a designated point on the field, directly in front of them towards the “outfield.” The ball will not be measured until it comes to a complete stop. The goal is to come closest to the “target.” The top two finishers per age group (8 – 10A/B – 10C – 12A/B – 12C – 14A/B – 14C and 16/18) will receive an award. Softballs provided. Players are asked to shag their softball after the competition. | |||||||||||||||||
| BASE RACE – No Sign up Required – Arrive at the scheduled time or risk being unable to participate | |||||||||||||||||
| Participates will be timed while running from home plate, around the bases (touching each base) back to home plate. Fastest time wins! The top two finishers per age group (8 – 10A/B – 10C – 12A/B – 12C – 14A/B – 14C and 16/18) will receive an award. | |||||||||||||||||
| DIZZY BAT – No Sign up Required – Arrive at your scheduled time or risk being unable to participate | |||||||||||||||||
| This will be a 4-person race. Team members must spin 8 circles around a “dizzy bat” and run a specified distance. The clock will start as soon as the participant’s forehead touches a bat. One team member must be a Coach or a Parent. Teams can enter as many teams as they want, but players can only participate on one team. Example: Suzy can be on Team 1, but she cannot participate on Team 2, 3 or 4. A Coach/Parent must participate on every team, but the same rules apply. The top two teams in each division, with the shortest time, will win an award. | |||||||||||||||||
