FASTPITCH AMERICA SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION

[crush16]

It is an organization like USFA. Rules are the same but the games are longer. The tournament format is a little different.

Where are the tournaments?

[Glennalf]

I looked on their website - www.fastpitchamerica.net. They have tournaments in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee. The closest ones I found were Eunice, Lake Charles, Cleveland, Livingston.

They will start have tournaments in the Houston area. They just got a director for the area.

At the 14U, 16U and 18U level the question should be...
What type of College Coach draw do they have?

My daughter played in a few in the spring. We enjoyed the tournaments. In the younger age group (12u) we got to play 5 innings. Which I enjoyed. Felt more like a real game instead of watching the clock.

[REALLY!!!]

They still have some bugs to wok out . FASA was founded by Bobby Hair ( formerly USFA) . They have some big tournaments in the Shreveport area and some in Lufkin and Longview. Just have to pick and choose where you want to go. I do not see it getting as big as USFA for the younger age groups down here. They do pull some teams from Ark and OK at some of their bigger events up north.

so....I guess your saying 14U and up stay ASA and Premier if you want to see College Coaches attending.
