RYFSA Update: December 21

RYFSA is excited to announce that the MN Stix will be participating in Southeast Minnesota Little League Softball. The 12U softball team will play 12 games locally.

Tryout details

Whether your 12U eligible daughter (6th grade or younger) is already a member of the MN Stix family or not, we invite her to try out for this exciting opportunity to be a part of the first season of Southeast Minnesota Little League Softball. Tryouts will be January 12 from 7-8 p.m. Check-in starts at 6:30 p.m. If selected to the roster, the cost will be $75. You can sign up for tryouts at MN Stix Little League Softball Tryout Registration.

All-star team opportunity

Players from participating teams in the league have the opportunity to be selected to play on an All–Star team that advances to regionals in July. If the All–Star team does well, they could move on to the World Series in August. The Little League Softball World Series has been played in Greenville, North Carolina since 1974 and is broadcast on ESPN/ESPN2.

The Board is pleased to introduce the RYFSA Scholarship Program, recognizing students and past participants who demonstrate sportsmanship, leadership, dedication, and community involvement through youth softball. This scholarship supports student-athletes who embody teamwork, perseverance, and integrity. For more information and application details, visit the scholarship webpage.
