There鈥檚 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鈥檚 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.
鈥淚 just want to keep bringing the talent out for the girls.鈥�
Impressed by what she has seen so far, she feels that there is a lot of talent across District 4.
鈥淚 know there鈥檚 a lot of great talent out here, I鈥檓 looking forward to the season, it鈥檚 going to be some great, competitive ball.鈥�
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 .
鈥淪ome 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鈥檚 going to be good to see some of the talent out there.鈥�
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.
