2026/2027 Tryouts SD Players/SD Braves
These tryouts are for The South Dakota Players and The South Dakota Braves Fastpitch Softball Organizations. Every athlete that is trying out needs to have a form filled out/needs to be signed up. If you have multiple athletes, please fill a form out for each individual. 

Please try to make it to the day your age group is assigned. Not all of the coaches are able to be in attendance on the Makeup Date. Teams will be formed based on tryouts/numbers. We may or may not have teams for all age groups in both organizations, and we may have to combine some age groups. 

Dates/Times:
Monday, August 3rd: 8u & 10u (Check in: 5pm-5:30; Tryout starts at 5:30pm)
Tuesday, August 4th: 12u (Check in: 5pm-5:30; Tryout starts at 5:30pm)

Age Determination:
How to Calculate: An athlete's age on August 31st, 2026, determines their division of the 2026/2027 season
Playing Up: Athletes can play up one age division, but they cannot play down (we highly encourage everyone to play in their correct age group)
