Eagan Athletic Association

Welcome to

 Eagan Fastpitch

Home of the Wildcats

Eagan Fastpitch is excited to offer opportunities for 16U (2002-2003 birth dates) and 14U (2004-2005 birth dates) teams for the summer of 2019. The purpose of community teams at 14U/16U is to provide all Eagan players a place to continue their softball careers. These teams will be formed as follows to conform to the rules of MN/USA softball, as well as Eagan Fastpitch past practices. Girls are to register at the appropriate age level based on birth year.

No monies are being collected at this time. 
 

16U

• All Eagan 16U players or players that have previously played for an Eagan team that register will have a spot on the 16U team. The team cap is 11 or 12 players.
• If 11 players do not register at 16U, an open tryout will be advertised and held to complete that team with other 16U players. Every effort will be made to fill this team with other 16U players.

• Coach interviews will be done as needed.

14U

• All Eagan 14U players that register will have an opportunity to tryout for a spot on the 14U team. The team cap is 11 or 12 players. If we do not get enough Eagan players registered, we will hold a tryout to fill any remaining roster spots by using players from associations that have extra players.

• Coach interviews will be held as needed.

• We will do our very best to ensure that all interested players get to play next spring.

Schedules vary for 14U and 16U teams, as will the level of play depending on outcome of rosters. Eagan community teams will compete in Tri-County during the summer of 2019. There will be available training on Friday nights at the Rosemount Dome from November through February.  Additional training or winter tournaments are a possibility. Those will be decided by teams and coaches when rosters are announced and the additional costs will be the responsibility of families. 

In addition to league play, qualifiers and the state tournament, Eagan community teams can play up to three tournaments, one of which may be the Down n' Dirty on Father's Day Weekend.

There is no out-of-state travel expected. Tournaments will be selected by coaches. NAFA Nationals or MOA Championships is an option at end of season with a qualified berth.

We are always seeking new EFP Board Members  

If you have any questions about how you can volunteer, please ask a Board Member today.  We would love to talk with you about how you can contribute your skills to the girls' program.

We are looking for both moms and dads to fill some positions.   Anyone can help and the program does not manage without our parents being involved.

We have many projects that you can assist us on, without committing to a board position.  If you have skills or would like to help us out, please reach out.  

No experience needed to join today!

Did you know that EFP players can continue playing through 18U?  There are community travel teams as well as many club teams available to players from 14U through 18U.  

The Minnesota Stars club teams are based in Eagan and accepts players through a tryout process in early August each year.  Top players from all over the cities are invited to attend these age level tryouts in order to participate on club teams.  

Please keep the Minnesota Stars club teams in mind when you are looking for your next adventure!  

Minnesota Stars Club Team Info

ALL parents from the MN Stars, 8U Travel, 10U League Only and all Tournament Travel teams are required to volunteer about 9 hrs (2 Dib shifts per player) at either the Eagan Down 'N Dirty Tournament in June or the Northern National Tournament that we host in July.  This is our only form of fundraising for the entire program.  

The revenue from these tournaments helps to keep our program costs down. These funds help pay for items such as: fields, umpires, team equipment, player insurance, tournament entries & gate fees, player clinics, and winter dome time that all EFP players can utilize.  

A volunteer deposit of $250 is collected at tryouts. The check will only be cashed if your volunteer hours are not fulfilled by the end of the season.  You can choose to forfeit this deposit in lieu of working your volunteer hours.

This applies to all traveling members of our Spring/Summer Leagues.
