6th Annual Pitch for the Cure
Fastpitch Tournament
8UMP & 10U-18U

DOUBLE POINTS NIT
 (with a new higher point scale!)

PLUS CRYSTL BUSTOS WILL BE HERE TO LEAD CLINICS

Pitch for the Cure is a girls' fastpitch softball tournament that raises funds for Chicks Charities but also has additional global ambitions attached to it.  We connect regional youth to fight against breast cancer and empower girls to be active for change in their communities.

The 6th Annual Pitch for the Cure is presented by Northwest Arkansas Fastpitch Softball Association dba Springdale Chicks in special partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure Ozark Affiliate.

Since creating and presenting the first Pitch for the Cure in 2006 we've raised $100000 for Susan. G. Komen for the Cure.  Our event donates 20% of all profits plus some of our weekend activities bring in fundraising dollars that are donated 100% to Komen.

In 2010 we hosted more than 160 teams.  For 2011 we've added clinics with 3-time Olympian medalist Crystl Bustos & her Got Bustos? team.  Bring your players to the largest fastpitch charity event in the region.  It's great competition and an event they won't forget!

  • Our EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION deadline:  Registrations postmarked by April 1 2010 save $25.00 off the regular $245.00 fee!  Plus these early teams are registered in a bonus drawing.

  • All tournament games and activities will take place in NW Arkansas.  We use the J. B. Hunt Softball Complex and Tyson Sports Complex in Springdale Gary Hampton and Lake Fayetteville parks in Fayetteville plus Doc Wheeler Park in Rogers.  (Additional fields may be used in 2011.) 

  • This is a DOUBLE POINTS NIT USSSA weekend!

  • Pitch for the Cure provides all game balls and scorekeeping. 

  • At team check-in players receive a player gift bag with great giveaway products from our sponsors and supporters.

  • Non-player (& non-coach) attendees will pay a gate entrance fee each day.  (Teams do not pay a team "gate fee".)

  • Each team receives up to 3 coach passes to wear for the weekend.

  • First place teams in each fastpitch bracket will receive softball helmets with face guards for the entire team! 

  • Individual awards are presented for 1st-4th place teams.

  • Full paid entry will be made to the 2011 USSSA World Series for the 1st place teams in each age bracket if they choose to compete & qualify.

  • Half paid entry will be made to the 2011 USSSA World Series for the 2nd place teams in each age bracket if they choose to compete & qualify.

  • Teams can pre-order event shirts to guarantee sizes and colors.

  • Additional contests take place where the players can participate either individually in small groups or with their team.

PLUS...you earn more points this year!!

Not only did Pitch for the Cure return to being a USSSA NIT event but check this out....

  • USSSA has revamped their point chart.  See our site for a comparison of the old chart and the new chart.  Qualifiers & State Level II stay the same but look at that NIT column!!  It's BUMPED up a notch or two right?!

  • There is also a new level of points awarded at 25-32nd places for NITs.  For an event the size of PFTC that's a benefit for a good number of teams.

  • Now for the best part:  You can take those points and DOUBLE THEM!!  Pitch 2011 is a DOUBLE POINTS event so all of those points in the NIT column will automatically be doubled!!  Yes first place is worth 450 points!!!


What you may not have noticed about playing in an NIT...

USSSA NITs not only award higher points at the top of the scale but they also award points deeper into the scale.  Qualifiers stop at 10 points for 12th place.  NITs stop at 20 points for 32nd place.  (Before double points of course.)

GET REGISTERED NOW!!

Official registration takes place through the Pitch for the Cure website.

Teams will be required to have their 2011 USSSA registration completed and rosters online.
