Make-ups and
the first practice for the 16U Reds will be held this
Sunday, May 4 at Butler Field.
Preliminary
schedules for the 16U Red team and 18U Blue team have
been posted. See team schedule links at the left for

This year,
the club is reviewing its 12U and 14U schedules and
travel plans for the summer in an attempt to reduce dues
and other costs associated with the program. The 16U Reds
and 18U Blues will be playing ASA qualifiers and exposure
tournaments this summer and into the fall.

The two-fold mission of the Austin
Storm Fastpitch Club is 1) To cultivate and develop
its younger players to prepare them for high school
softball and 2) Further develop its high school
players in ASA and college exposure venues to prepare
them for recruitment into college-level fastpitch
softball programs.
