Thank You from San Jose StrikkerS Fastpitch Softball

Dudley gives "100 Effort" at our tournament held in January. Dudley Sports Balls sponsored our tournament with product to help all the participating girls give "100 Effort" on the field to show off their skills. We can honestly say that the balls stood the beating that were given them with quite a few being hit over the fence by some of the big hitters in attendance. The balls faced speeds in excess of 60 miles an hour, were a part of 100s of plays, and saw a lot of action.

Thank You Dudley from the tournament director, Ernie Garcia, and all the girls participating, your sponsorship helped keep our costs down so that we could keep tournament fees as reasonable as possible for the teams participating.

The StrikkerS organization would like to sincerely thank all the teams that participated in our "100% Effort" Showcase Tournament held this past January. It was exciting to see all the girls give 100% and team coaches give 100%. We observed real team effort out there on the fields, in the dugouts and in the stands from the families and supporters of the girls.

We know the weather was not at its finest for this tournament and we wish we could have changed that for all. But mother nature played her part there.

We plan to host more tournaments in the future at this location and would like all of you to come back to our website on a regular basis and check out what's new with the planning of future tournaments. If there was something we neglected to add to our website to help you be better prepared for our tournament please give us feedback so that we can improve our sharing of necessary items of interest.

To all the college coaches that came to our tournament, we sure hope that you were happy with the talent that was displayed for your evaluating processes. We would like to invite you as well to future tournaments. We encourage you as you speak with other coaches to share your experience with this tournament and encourage others coaches to attend future tournaments. We truly feel having the multiple fields all in one location makes your trip less cumbersome and more productive while allowing you to see more talent while traveling less.

If you have any questions about any of our teams or any of our girls please feel free to contact Ernie Garcia, San Jose StrikkerS League President at.
