Parking for the tournament will work differently than regular season games. A gate will still be located near the softball field but fan parking will be at the round lot in front of the high school, near the football field, and near the back entrance to the high school. Bus parking will be behind the practice facility and the football practice field will be used as a warm up field.

Entry gates will be located near the front and behind the softball field. Click here to see an event map. Tickets will be $5 and available at the gate. •
