PARK LOCATIONS
Clark County Park and Recreation no longer allows fast pitch softball to be played at Warm Springs Park field #9 due to foul balls hitting cars on oncoming traffic. To accommodate 50 teams, we must move to Shadow Rock Park which is approximately 16 miles from Sunset Park. It may take up to 40 minutes to get from one park to another so please plan accordingly if you are one of the teams having to travel to both parks.
Shadow Rock Park has turf fields. There are NO METAL CLEATS ALLOWED! If any player is caught using metal cleats the city will pull our permit, and the tournament will cease play. To avoid this from happening, any player caught using metal cleats by our staff, the player and/or team may be disqualified from the game.
Sunset Park – Fields 11, 12, 13 & 14
2601 E. Sunset Road, Las Vegas, NV 89120
Note that we are playing on the fields off Eastern Ave., South of Sunset Park Road.
Shadow Rock Park – Fields 1, 2, 3, & 4

ROSTER
All teams must complete a roster and identify the pitchers who will be throwing in the tournament to ensure they are classified in the proper division. Please visit the NAFA World Series website at playnafa.org to download the “NAFA World Series Roster” sheet. While you are on their site, review the “Pitchers List” to make sure your pitcher is properly classified in the division you will be participating in. Pitchers classified in the lower division can pitch in a higher division, but they cannot pitch the opposite way, Higher to Lower. If the pitcher is not classified, follow the directions on the website on how to add their name to the list because if they are not on the list, they will not be able to pitch in the tournament.
If you have any issues downloading the roster, you can email the Tournament Director, Jesse Ortiz, with the player’s full name, if they are the pitcher, and their jersey number.
Rosters are due by March 25, 2025, so they can be uploaded onto the stats website at playnafa.org because that will be your official roster. Players not listed on the stats website team roster will not be allowed to participate. It is important to make sure you include any nickname on the roster so the name on the lineup card you turn into the umpires matches what is listed on the roster to avoid any confusion.
TOURNAMENT DETAILS
The tournament will be using SCIFL rules. Teams will have the option to bat up to 10 players using the Extra Hitter (EH), a Designated Runner (DR), and a Courtesy Runner (CR) may be used for the pitcher or catcher ONLY, but it must be the last recorded out.
All divisions will use the 3-game guarantee NAFA bracket. The championship games are scheduled for 3:00 PM on Sunday with no “IF” games on any of the divisions. All winners will have a paid berth for the NAFA World Series except for the A-Division which will have a paid berth for the Gold and Silver Champions.
Please keep in mind that with any tournament(s) the scheduled times and games may be pushed back during the course of the day so please plan flights accordingly.
If your normal routine is to have a conference with all your players before the first pitch, please do that before the coin flips or better yet, while the game before you are in play so we can keep games running as close to on-time as possible. The umpires will be instructed to get you moving and start the game without wasting any time. Also, keep your teams moving in and out of the dugouts as quickly as possible. The courtesy runner for the catcher is there for a reason, to get their gear on while the inning is in play and not after the last out.
BAT TESTING
The USA Softball Bat Testing & Certification Program along with compression testing will be utilized in this tournament – NAFA tamper proof decal stickers will be provided to bats that pass inspection.
Bat testing will be conducted at Sunset Park in the center of fields 11, 12, 13, 14. In order for the bat to receive a tamper proof decal sticker it must meet the USA Softball Bat Testing & Certification Program by having 1) theASA, USA Softball, or WBSC certification mark, 2) is not on theNon-Approved Bat List, and 3) passes compression.
Once the bat passes its testing it will be given an NAFA tamper proof decal sticker. Bats without a NAFA tamper proof decal sticker will not be allowed in the game. Players should not try to remove the tamper proof decal sticker because it will show a “Void” once it has been removed. Any bat with a sticker that looks like it’s been tampered with will not be allowed in play.
Please confirm you received your game times and your team’s name is spelled correctly.
