Fastpitch IL Tournaments

2010 Fastpitch Tournament Locations and Dates

The 11U and 13U teams advancing to the World Series MUST participate in a USSSA State Tournament to advance to the World Series. You may play in a higher age/class State Tournament to fulfill this obligation. All other teams DO NOT have to play in a USSSA State Tournament to accept the World Series berth although we hope you do participate to gain additional National Ranking points to be used for seeding at the World Series. The below listed Illinois USSSA tournaments will use 2 umpires per game.

Metal cleats and metal toe plates are allowed for 15U and older.

Pitching Distance for 15U on up is 43 feet.

Dates are being updated as they are received
