2026-27 Team Tryouts

What to Expect

  • When players arrive, they will receive a number that will pin to the back of their shirt.
  • Each family will receive a packet of information about Elevate Northwest and the great things we’re doing in the fastpitch community!
  • We encourage each family to write their number on their packet materials (or otherwise record it), because those numbers are how we’ll communicate about results.
  • Players will work through various stations including defense and pitching on our turf field, and hitting inside of the facility.
  • At the end of tryouts we will communicate with everyone via phone call and/or email.
