8U Summer Clinic 2025

Dear Parents,

We’re excited to announce our 8u practice/clinic Summer Schedule. These practice/clinics will be for the girls that wish to participate in our Blue Storm 9U Team that will begin in September! We are offering all of our interested families the opportunity to participate in these clinics so that your daughter can learn the fundamentals that are important for Travel Softball.

About the 8U Summer Program:

Our 8U summer team is a fun, low-pressure opportunity for young players who are excited about the game and wish to grow their skills.

⚾ 7 summer practices will be offered. Each practice will have a particular focus. Most will cover basic softball skills while others may focus on specific positions such as Pitchers/Catchers. Attending every practice is not required, as some girls may simply not wish to pitch or catch however all are encouraged to do so.
⚾ Based on participation, we will work to secure scrimmages with local teams or our Blue Storm 9u team.
📆 Session runs from July 1st through August 1, 2025

Practice Details:

📅 TDates: July 1, 8, 10, 17, 25, 31, and August 1
🕔 Tentative Time: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Location: Bedford Village Park
💵 Cost: $150 which includes a Blue Storm T-Shirt.

FAQs

What organization is Blue Storm affiliated with?

Blue Storm participates in USA Softball and USSSA Fastpitch leagues, which set eligibility rules and age divisions.

What is the age cutoff for 8U?

Players must be born on or after September 1, 2015. If your daughter is older, there are other Blue Storm teams she may be eligible for.

My daughter was born after Sep 1, 2016 — can she try out?

Yes! While she would technically be 8U-eligible next summer, she may still participate this season.

Who will be running the practice clinics? Is there a need for player/parent coaches for the clinics and moving forward?

Coach Ross Sacco, who was formerly the head coach of our 16u Blue Storm team will be running the session. He will be assisted by current Girls Varsity Softball Players as well as other professional coaches and interested parent coaches. We are in the process of selecting the coaching staff for the 9u Blue Storm team which begins in September 2025. Any parent who is interested in being a part of the coaching staff should express their interest and reach out to us in advance of the first practice. KLBS is a volunteer program and regardless of your softball skills we can always find a role for you.

Is this for the year-round Blue Storm team?

No — this is only for summer 2025. Selection for the full-year Blue Storm team (Fall 2025 through Summer 2026) will be held at the end of the summer. Over the course of the summer practices, the Blue Storm Coaches will be evaluating the girls for selection to our 9u Blue Storm Travel Team as well as educating the parents about the commitment. While it is not mandatory that you participate in the summer session to make the Fall 9u Team, it is highly recommended that you make every effort to participate.

What does the full-year Blue Storm program include?
