Thank you for your interest in CA Heat Fastpitch. Please note you are committing to a game schedule that includes one or two game
nights per week, either Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays, depending on age, as well as several practices per

at the coach’s discretion.
You are also committing to playing in several weekend coach-choice tournaments, the state qualifier tournament and the state
tournament. The 2015 state qualifier and state tournament dates have not yet been published, but for 10U/12U the state qualifier is
generally the weekend before July 4th and the state tournament is generally the weekend after July 4 th. For 14U/16U the state qualifier
is generally the first weekend after July 4th and the state tournament is generally the second weekend after July 4 th. We will publish
the specific dates as soon as we receive them. Availability for the state qualifier and state tournaments is mandatory.
We understand that you may have multiple opportunities to participate in a variety of different sports and activities. These are good
things, but please note that we take your commitment to the CA Heat seriously. Failure to honor your commitment to the game
