Congrats to Savannah Young from the CF Stingrays for being selected to join the 2012 CUP International Teams that traveled to Europe in January to compete against established European Fastpitch teams - many of which have their countries National Team players on them. This is a great honor and opportunity for this young lady. This is a once in a lifetime athletic, cultural and educational experience. Playing against Europe’s best and experiencing different cultures will be remembered forever. Savannah has worked very hard and have shown great progress in her game. Her dedication to the sport and drive to excel has earned her a chance to play at an even higher level. Her family, and the Stingray Nation, are very proud of her.
Many teams will offer exposure to players through showcase tournaments and competing in National events. If a player and her family really want to compare and compete, they should look into the Queen of Diamonds Individual Showcase events. There are 3 across the Eastern part of the country and these are by application only. These events also provide a link to the CUP teams. Those events not only provide college coaches an opportunity to see the players up close in a tryout format, but the organizers also provide great insight into the recruiting process. They have been at this for 16 years now and their alumni list is huge. Organizationally the Stingrays have had great success using their recruiting processes and have been immensely satisfied with the exposure that their Showcases and the CUP experiences have offered.
Certainly feel free to contact this group directly (www.theqsport.com/cuphistory) – they are very accommodating. But if anyone would like firsthand details don’t hesitate to contact me.
Again – congrats Savannah!!!
