Looking for some help from the Bucket

What's on your mind?

by kl43dad » Sun Aug 26, 2012 7:00 pm

Over the last few years there was a tourney series doing events with NPF Players and College players at youth A ball tourneys. I know they did a few of these. They had some type of camp or clinic on the Friday night before the tourney then an exhibition game during the tourney with the pro and college players. Does anyone know if these are still going on, what the series was called, or who was doing them. any help would be appreciated.

Someone asked me Thursday and I have been banging my head against the wall trying to remember. If memory serves me correct Dot Richardson and her husband were involved. I know they held one in Indiana and I think Florida. They had one scheduled in Northern Cal (Stockton Area) but from what I understand it fell thru do to funding. Maybe that will help jog some memories. :) Thanks for the help

I remember a few years ago....the PFX Tour. Had a local tournament, exhibition games and a meet and greet with the pros. I don't know if they are still around.

The PFX Tour was run by Dot Richardson. who now runs NTC Softball. A few players like Natasha Watley, who did those PFX Tour clinics, now do so as part of U-trip.

There are a few former Olympians behind USSSA.

There's a camp with several former Olympians and some professional players as well as several current college players on Sep. 15. It takes place inside Angels stadium and is supposed to be pretty great. I'm going to represent my women's fastpitch league and there are some big names on the flyer. I'll attach it here so you can see it for yourself. Or you can go to the website. here's the link:

Hope this helps!
