There’s building interest for softball in the region, and the District 4 is building a new team. They held tryouts at Jaycee Beach on July 25 for the new U12 team, which will be entered into a showcase hosted in Yorkton from August 17-19.
There will be another tryout in Melville on August 1 at 6:00 p.m.
Clorice Kuzek, head coach, said that the goal is to get girls from across district 4 to try out for the team. She notes that it’s a district with a very large geographical area, and since District 4 has not fielded a team in a long time they felt it was important to make one for this year, especially with Yorkton hosting a tournament.
“I just want to keep bringing the talent out for the girls.”
Impressed by what she has seen so far, she feels that there is a lot of talent across District 4.
“I know there’s a lot of great talent out here, I’m looking forward to the season, it’s going to be some great, competitive ball.”
One of the advantages of bringing the showcase tournament to Yorkton is that the girls can see what their peers across the province are doing .
“Some of the districts are out of places like Saskatoon where they have a bigger drawing area, where we have more of a rural area. It’s going to be good to see some of the talent out there.”
The tournament starts at 12:00 p.m. on August 17 in Yorkton, and the local girls take to the field for the first time at 6:30 p.m.
