NOTICE:

The Oshkosh Fast Club members voted to approve the contract with IAI.  John Ingala, President of IAI, is a local, civic minded fundraiser who has agreed to do the work for less than the market rate.  John has been very effective at other community projects and we look forward to working with him.


The next Fast Club meeting will tentatively be Wednesday, July 23th at 6:00 pm at The Roxy.

THE FAST CLUB PHILOSOPHY

The main objective is to teach the girls about fast pitch softball and to have fun.  It is to teach skills and strategies in a manner designed to develop self-confidence and improve physical abilities and conditioning.  We are here to encourage equal participation, fun, skill development, physical fitness, teamwork, sportsmanship and family involvement.  In addition we are here to teach the girls character and self-esteem.  This is not always reflected in the score but is seen in the development in the girls as players and the team as a complete unit.

FAST CLUB is an instructional league for girls in present ages 5 to 16 where full windmill style pitching is played.  Age is your daughter's age on January 1st, 2008.

  • Girls from ages 5 to 6 play in Tee Ball which plays on Sunday nights.
  • Girls ages 7 to 8 will play in our Pony League (coach pitch) on Sunday nights.
  • Girls ages 9 to 10 will play in our newly formed Minor League on Sunday nights.
  • Girls ages 11 to 12 will play in the Junior League on Tuesday nights.
  • Girls ages 13 to 16 will play in the Senior League on Thursday nights.
  • Parents or guardians are allowed to move their girl up a division if they so desire, but they cannot move them down a division.
  • Coaching is done by adult volunteers and also assisted by senior high school players.  We are always in need of volunteers and encourage parental participation.  We will also hold a clinic March 30th to show coaches on how to instruct the girls in fielding, throwing, hitting, bunting, pitching, and game strategies.
  • Shirts and visors are supplied by the league and are required to be worn.  Gray shorts can be purchased at Wisconsin Sports or Play-It-Again Sports.  The shirts and visors will be kept by the players.
  • There will be one clinic held on March 29th at Oshkosh North for new and returning players.
  • FAST CLUB is always in need of sponsors for the teams for the upcoming year.  It is what helps keep FAST CLUB functioning throughtout the year.  If you know of anyone who would like to sponsor a team for the summer and even like to make a donation, please contact John Kloehn at 420-1266.  This is a non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible.

***** If you have noticed, there has been an adjustment in our Fast Club Leagues.

  1. We have switched from grades in school to ages.  This is to comply with the way the ASA which throughout their leagues nationally they segregate by ages.
  2. Also, if you have noticed, we have added a new Minor League for girls ages 9 and 10.  This league will be run just like our Junior League except it will be played on Sunday nights and the girls will be actually pitching an 11 inch ball.  There will be umpires present.
  3. These changes were voted on at our September 30, 2007 meeting.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
