National Tournaments
Prior Lake Fastpitch teams can qualify for a National Tournament in a variety of ways. All applicants understand at the time of tryouts that they and/or their parents/guardians are willing and able to attend the tournament should they make an “A” team and then qualify for a sanctioned tournament in any manner.
If a player cannot attend a national tournament for which her team has qualified, she should notify her coach as soon as possible. The coach has the option to fill the vacated player’s spot with players from inside the Prior Lake Fastpitch program or from outside the program due to specific needs.
If a 10U or “B” team qualified for a National Tournament, the team’s coaches, with input from parents, determine if the team will attend. If at least eight players from the qualifying team would like to participate, the coach has the sole discretion to invite additional players from inside the Prior Lake Fastpitch program from a team who is not going to the tournament. If all the teams within the program have qualified, the coach may look outside the program to fill the need for additional players.
If a Prior Lake Fastpitch team earns a berth to a National Tournament as part of the fall program, the berth earned (typically for the following summer season) becomes part of the Prior Lake Fastpitch program and its utilization is at the sole discretion of the Officers of the Prior Lake Fastpitch Committee.
It is the responsibility of the players/parents to cover the cost associated with travel for a national tournament.
