Many, many thanks to Wayne Miller and the WA Ladyhawk organization for all their help with this Tryout. Their hard work and enthusiasm are much appreciated and make this a great day for the players and their families each and every time.
Right out of the gate, I have to mention two players who solidified spots in the West Coast Elite Camp. 2020 Canadian pitcher, Madison Dewitt and 2022 3B/1B Kaiea Higa both displayed a high level of potential for success at the next level. Madison can absolutely bring it in the mid-60s with some real potential for spin and location. Kaiea is going to be 5-tool player if she continues to work on her game. Both have bright futures ahead of them.
2021 Middle Infielder, Kjirstin Hopfer was also very impressive. She is very good defensively and just needs to keep working on the offensive game as she gets older and stronger. 2020 athlete Lauren Benson showed a great combination of athleticism and skill set. Lauren is a solid defender who can also swing the bat. There were a number of others who also caught our eye, and we will be excited to see them in a Jamboree next summer.
We hope you all take the TAP assessment that we talked about during the tryout. That is going to be a new frontier in the sport, and you a leg up on your competition. Learn more HERE or TAKE THE TEST NOW
As with all our Tryouts, we want to remind both parents and players that the recruiting process is a journey that unfolds differently for every player. Be patient and let the process work and a good decision will ultimately be made. If you weren't selected, don't be discouraged, we would like to see how you progress and improve. Please email your travel ball schedule to info@ondecksoftball.net

Please remember that the ODM numbers, while growing increasingly important, are only a snapshot of a player’s evaluation and potential. They are also just a portion of the Tryout selection process, for more information read Your Tryout & ODM Numbers. Use these numbers as a tool and work at developing your athleticism, but constantly work on improving and refining your softball skill set – both offensively and defensively.
