The Tri County Fastpitch League was established in 1972 to promote fastpitch softball for girls in the St. Paul/Minneapolis metropolitan area and now part of Western Wisconsin.  The league acts as a clearinghouse for interested communities, and limits it's self to the scheduling of league games between member associations, determines State tournament advancing and corresponding player eligibility standards.

Coaches,

We are building the team registration forms now and will be available to enter after the Directors meeting on March 7th.  All team registrations must be entered by the April 4th Directors meeting along with final payment.

New this year using the Score Monsters web site and software is more of a seamless team and player registration process.  Registering your team and players is now ONE step.  Please be prepared when registering your team.

MINIMALLY to register your team you will need the following information.

1. Team Name:
2. Association you play for:
3. Coaches Name:

6. Coaches Contact Number:
7. Age and Level of play.  I.e. 10U A/BI/BII/C
8. Play dates you know you CAN'T play:

IF you know your players information at this time this would be ideal but not required.  You will be able to come back at any time and complete this process.  This is how you will obtain your roster, enter player stats etc.

Gather the following information:  Please note, again the reason we are now using the Score Monster software is because a player will only have to be entered ONE time in their career playing youth fastpitch.  We have pre loaded close to 20,000 players.

If they are not in the database please enter players information. (all the information will be on the form)
