Watch for the soon-to-be-announced schedule of broadcasts !
So Cal Fastpitch returns to one of its legendary fields, Mayfair Park in Lakewood, former home of the Lakewood Jets, and rival of the Long Beach Nitehawks. The field is one of the nicest facilities in Southern California, and hosted many top flite tournaments and teams in the 1970’s through the 1990’s. The vice-commish for the new Southern California Independant Fastpitch League, Ron Rupp provides information below on the new leagues’ first tournament. (Ron Rupp has a long history at Mayfair Park, having served as the batboy for the Lakewood Jets, run by his late father, Lanny Rupp. Rupp went on to play for the Jets, and continues to play locally. )
The newly formed SCIFL plans to hold a pre season tune up Fastpitch Tournament on January 20th & 21st at beautiful Mayfair park in Lakewood, Ca. Since the League will begin early this year on the weekend of Feb 17th, League officials thought there might be some interest in a pre season Tourney to give the players some work before the League begins. This Tourney will be open to the “B” and “C” teams, we suspect up to 10 teams will want to participate in this SCIFL event? The fee will be $300 and will be played in the round robin format with each team playing a four game minimum. Since the SCIFL is a soveriegn or independent League, we plan to offer our teams the option of National bids from both the ASA and NAFA in 2007. If your Team is interested in participating in this SCIFL pre season event, please leave a message @ 562-989-3339 or Email FHANKER@aol.com

The St. Thomas Storm Fastball Club from Ontario, Canada is returning to Orlando to compete in the AAU International Fastpitch tournament.
This is the second trip to Florida for the Storm and they are looking to improve on last year’s finish, when they lost in the first round of the playoffs and finished with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses.
The team looks at the event as a nice mid winter vacation and a chance to compete against international teams who we don’t normally get to play against.
The Storm plays in the intermediate level St. Thomas and District league and feature many players with ISC experience.
Pitching this year consists of workhorse Trevor Wardell who was instrumental in helping the St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials win back to back Canadian Sr. Men’s Championships. Also featured on the staff is Dan Beecroft, an underrated pitcher who has led the Storm to 2 straight league titles.
Several players on the roster also helped the Centennials and Storm to their titles including lead off man and shortstop Tyler Lessard, 2B Troy Rick and outfielders Chris Payne and Mark Coleman.
