Falls Aces Fastpitch travel teams provide a more competitive opportunity for softball

Player/Family commitment
Team practices will start in September. Please see the
projected practice plans for the 2022-2023 season below as this format has changed
from years past. Outdoor practices will be held at the complex. Indoor practices will be
held at the Launch Pad. Off-season training is required for our athletes. We cannot
develop as a team if this is optional. We have restructured our off-season training to
spread out practices each month. Once league games are underway in May, practices
will be once a week on Sundays. Tournaments will be on the weekends and will not
conflict with league games. Players are expected to be available for all tournaments
scheduled in 2023.
Pitching and catching are high skill positions. It is strongly recommended that players
seek additional training/lessons outside of Aces practices. Pitching requires player
dedication to practice multiple times a week.
