THANK YOU!

On behalf of the Minot Storm host program, we would like to thank the players for their fantastic efforts this past weekend!  From the little ladies just starting their USA Softball careers at the Sertoma Complex all the way up to the superb play of the 18U level players, we saw some fantastic fastpitch softball over the weekend.  Superb sportsmanship was displayed all around and the 2023 North Dakota Junior Olympic Girls' Fastpitch State Tournament was a fantastic one.  We are already looking forward to the 2024 State Tournament!  

Thank you to the fans for supporting your teams, to the parents and grandparents for the countless hours of travel, hotel nights, practices, games and tournaments a team needs to get to the state tournament.  

Thank you to the sponsors for making this tournament possible with your generous donations.

Thank you to the coaches for your dedication to this wonderful sport and these gifted young ladies!

Thank you to the umpires who work countless games over the spring and summer seasons.  The games do not go on without you!  Please thank the men and women in blue at your next game.

Thank you to Minot Parks for wonderful facilities that our daughters call home.  Your crews put in long hours, at times with no breaks, so our children can enjoy this game.  The Minot Parks crews were fantastic all season and beyond exceptional for the state tournament!

Thank you to Visit Minot for the many hours of help along the way.  Your expertise and dedication to this tournament helped make this tournament a success!

Thank you to the tournament committee!  There are so many moving parts that go into a tournament of this size.  Countless volunteers, family members, community members donating meals or services, organization members donating carts to help mobility challenged individuals get to their loved one's games, crews to fix fences, tourney machine experts, bracket and banner printers, t-shirt vendors and the list could go on.

The Minot Girls Fastpitch Board would like to thank everyone involved for helping make the 2023 North Dakota Junior Olympic Girls' Fastpitch State Tournament a success.  

Best of luck at USA Softball Nationals and we look forward to seeing you in 2024!
