LCFSA schedules tryouts

The Lake County Fastpitch Softball Association will soon be holding tryouts for the 2011-2012 season.

Travel players from all areas with a desire to play competitive A-level fastpitch softball and who have an interest in playing middle school, high school and college varsity ball are welcome to try out. There is no fee for the tryout.

Players should bring their own equipment and water, and should arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled tryout time to complete a registration/waiver form.
