2002
World Championship and Convention
The
announcement of the 2002 Inaugural World Championship and Fastpitch
Convention has caused a huge excitement in the softball community.
Literally hundreds of coaches, teams, and manufacturers have contacted
the promoters. In case you missed it, the Girl's World Fastpitch
Championship will be held in Las Vegas in December of 2002.
Those
teams eligible to play in the World Championship will be the top 10
finishers in each age group from all of the national governing bodies'
tournaments. In addition, there will be 4 qualifying tournaments held in
different regions of the country. Two of the qualifying tournaments are
already set, one in Maryland and one in the beautiful mountains of
Colorado sometime in June of 2002.
The
convention will consist of booths from bat and ball manufacturers, glove
companies, specialty softball training devices, coaching and training
videos, softball software companies, uniforms, pins and tee shirt
companies. They are already signing up some of the largest tournaments
in girl's Fastpitch softball. You will be able to talk to the people who
run these tournaments and sign up on the spot.
There
will be pitching clinics and coaching seminars. You will be able to talk
with experts on team travel and find out how to make those hard earned
dollars go as far as possible. You will find new ideas for fundraising
as well.
The
Annual Las Vegas Christmas Break Tournament will be held at the same
time so even if your team does not qualify for the World Championship
you can still come to Las Vegas for the convention and still play
softball.
If
you are interested in coming to one of the tournaments and the
convention or if you are interested in having a booth at the convention
contact Carl Clifton at cobra@qwest.net
. As usual, we are already putting into place large group travel from
all over the United States at unbelievably affordable prices. We will
have major hotels on the strip for less than $40 per night.
