Fastpitch

Fusion Fastpitch includes teams that compete at various competitive levels at five age groups. The Fusion Fastpitch teams complete in league games, tournaments and post season play. The tournaments (including Nationals) are generally held within the state of Minnesota.

Minnesota Softball provides divisions at five age groups. Those divisions are 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U and 18U. The age of the player on August 31st, 2023 is their playing age for the season. For example, player who is 10 years old on August 31st would play at the 10U level in the following Spring/Summer Season. A player who is 11 or 12 years old on August 31st would play at the 12U level in the Spring/Summer Season. Minnesota Softball and USA Softball rules do not allow a player to "play down" to a younger age group for any reason. Players should play in the division that is their playing age. The Age Calculator on MNSoftball.com can help verify the age level and division your player is eligible for.

For the first time, we are planning to create an 8U A-level team(s) in addition to our normal 8U B-Level teams. If your 8U eligible daughter is interested in making this team, she will need to attend tryouts on March 17. This team will play other A-level teams for their league games and participate in five weekend tournaments throughout the summer season. There will be an additional $100 invoice if your daughter is assigned to this team.

TRYOUTS 

For 10U and 12U players, tryouts will be held March 17, 2024 from 11:00am-1:00pm at the Rosemount Irish Sports Dome. Every 10U and 12U player is expected to attend tryouts. If you cannot make it, please email director@AVFusion.org

For 10U and 12U Pitchers and Catchers, tryouts will be March 17 between 3:30-5:30pm at the Eagan MASH facility. Specific times will be given for your arrival closer to March 17. Pitchers and Catchers must also attend the tryout session earlier that day at Irish sports dome.

8U players interested in the A-team will tryout on March 17 between 2:30-3:30pm at the old Eagan MASH facility. A specific time will be given before March 17 once we know how many are planning to attend.

Only 8U players interested in making the A-level team are required to attend tryouts. Those participating on an 8U B-Team will have their team formed based on past Fusion Teams, common elementary schools and player friend requests.


14U and 18U players had their tryouts in the fall and teams have been assigned. You can view the tryout results and team formation on our Tryout Information page.
