Summer Season Update

First and foremost, we hope your family is healthy and safe during these unprecedented times. A special thank you to all the healthcare workers, first responders, and essential workers in the Hopkins Fastpitch community for your hard work on the front lines during this pandemic.

We are still hopeful there will be a summer season, but are currently in a wait and see status. We know at this point, it will be delayed in some fashion. Minnesota (USA) Softball is the governing body for our leagues. They recently issued a statement (link) indicating that there will be at least a one week delay from when public restrictions are lifted until a season would potentially start. Please do not reach out to them for updates. If you would like to keep current on their updates you can do so via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or their website.

At this point, we have put team formation on hold. The social distancing guidelines were implemented when we were scheduled to meet with coaches to finalize this process. As the signs point to a season beginning, we will continue this process in a virtual manner.

During your time at home, we would strongly encourage you play catch with your daughter several times a week. This is invaluable to their development as a player, and a great opportunity for quality time together outside the confines of your house! We are also working on some drills for you to do at home to work on your softball skills. Watch for them in the future.

As much as we would love to be at the fields soon, our players' and families' safety is our top priority. We will continue to follow CDC, Minnesota Department of Health, and government restrictions and guidelines in regards to the summer season.  Uniforms have been ordered, and we will be ready to hit the fields when the season can safely begin!
