  1. Minnesota Fast Pitch Changing Landscape Requires Changing Approach For BPAA Program

  2. Six Years Ago • About ½ dozen club teams • Private organization • Members drawn from anywhere • Almost no elite teams • Part of city program • At least 50% from normal draw areas • City teams majority of MMFL / Suburban League – Approx 250 teams • Some cities found support from high schools Most Associations Were Casually Run

  3. Today • Suburban League – over 400 teams • Dozens of club teams (various ages) • E.g. Snow Catz, Sting, etc. • Many cities fielding at least one elite team • E.g. Soderville Moose, Elk River Extreme, etc. • Virtually every city works with local H.S. • Coaches provide coaching clinics • Clinics for players • Advisors for program Associations Building Aggressively to Attract Players
