2013 ASA STAMPED BATS BANNED IN FOND DU LAC SOFTBALL

2013 ASA STAMPED BATS BANNED IN FOND DU LAC SOFTBALL

It regrets me to inform you all that Fond du Lac Softball is imposing a ban on 

ALL BATS THAT HAVE THE 2013 ASA STAMP  pictured below

The issue comes down to PLAYER SAFETY!

It is very unfortunate that we did not receive this news until now but the fact remains the same. 

It is important to know that this is a ONE YEAR BAN.

In 2014, Fond du Lac Softball will be changing to the new ASA approved 52 COR 300 Compression ball, 

which is what those bats were certified for.

That will make all of the current balls obsolete, (44 COR 375 Compression).

 We have tried everything in our power to prevent this but unfortunately, this is our only solution.                                                                                                                      

This ban is Not an ASA ban, it is strictly for use in Fond du Lac.                                                                                                                                                                                      

FSI, along with the Fond du Lac Recreation Department, feel very strongly that this is what is best for

Fond du Lac Softball at this time. 

If you are found using one of these bats in Fond du Lac Softball, you will be subject to a one year suspension in all league and tournament play. 

FSI Annual meeting is August 30th

Don’t forget, the FSI annual meeting is coming up.

*It’s  a big file, so please be patient

The Early Bird is now a Men’s 3 Game Guarantee (Sat Only)

Due to low registrations for the Women’s Early Bird, their Women’s Early Bird tournament scheduled to be held on May 12 & 13th has been cancelled this year.

This has the side effect of freeing up one of the diamonds on Softball Island.

The Men’s Early Bird is now a 14 team Men’s 3 Game Guarantee that will be run on Saturday only. There are only a few spots left, so get your registrations in ASAP.

Beer Prices at the Concession Stand

Beer prices at the concession stand to open the 2012 season will be $6 a pitcher.

If you want to keep the beer prices low, we need your help.  Return your empty beer pitchers! If the beer pitchers are not returned, we will begin charging a deposit fee to help cover the costs of replacing pitchers. 

We don’t want to charge a deposit, and we are sure you don’t want to have to pay one, so please return your empty beer pitchers!
