Mad River Mist kick off the summer travel season in Redding this weekend!

The Mad River Mist, Mad River Girls Softball's new ASA summer travel ball program, jumps into its first live action this weekend in Redding. Three teams - 12 & Under, 14 & Under, and 16 & Under - are on the road June 18-19 at the Summer Heat Tournament at Big League Dreams in Redding. Each team will play at least four games this weekend. While the heat is new to most of our players, expectations for an exciting and fun weekend are high.

Mist head coach and program coordinator Kelly Helms says, "Our goal is to truly provide a positive experience while finishing the weekend better than we started. Two critical questions are the foundation of our program: Did you finish better than when you started? And did you have fun while you were doing it? If those two questions are answered yes , then it has been a very successful weekend for the Mad River Mist!"

Stay tuned here, on our Facebook page, or our twitter feed for updates on this weekend's games.

Spring Season End-of-Season Jamboree, Saturday, June 11th!

Our End-of-Season Jamboree happens this Saturday, June 11th, from 9-2 at the Arcata Sports Complex!

Click here for the official Schedule of Events for the Jamboree.

Events include a 9 & Under ball game at 10am on the South field where Cindy and Vince's team pair up to take on the combined team coached by Kintay and Vince. This "move-up" game features our developing pitchers and a chance to field full outfields for the game.

The 12 & Under teams will play a mini-round robin tourney beginning at 9am on the north field. Since several players will be missing Saturday's event due to other "end-of-season" events and recitals, all players are encouraged to be there from 9 to 12 to fill in positions on the other teams and share in the fun of our final day. Who's up for three games?

And, at noon, we'll all have a chance to watch our 16 & Under team take on the visiting LL team from McKinleyville.

We will be collecting all uniforms at the field on Saturday, so bring a change of clothes. A changing tent will be available.

Coaches: We will be also be collecting all your equipment on Saturday. Please remember to bring it all with you to the game.

And as a very small thank you to all our coaches, assistant coaches, and umpires...y'all get to eat free at the snack shack which will open all day.

It's nice to know that at least our final week will be rain-free. Let's enjoy a beautiful sunny Saturday morning with some great softball! We'll see you there on Saturday!
