A big THANK YOU to all of the girls who have expressed interest in participating with us for the ‘18-‘19 seasons. Turnout has been so good that we are asking for a few more 14U-18U players to make TWO new teams! If you are interested, please contact us through the end of this week. All positions are open and earned, but we really need one or two more 16/18 pitchers who want a good share of mound time in the exposure circuit.

We had the fields checked at 11:45 after this mornings’ showers. There is no standing water. They are damp but not muddy. We will be on fields G, H, or I, as field D is not available.

2nd tryout tomorrow, Sunday, at 2:00, planned for the Beaumont Athletic Complex on College street, FLD D. In the event the fields are too wet, we will update the post here and move indoors to the Hit House in Bridge City, still at 2:00. If you haven’t been able to make either tryout and are still interested, please contact me and we can set up a private tryout to fit our schedules.

Tryouts will begin as scheduled at 10:00 this morning at the Athletic Complex on College street in Beaumont, field D. In the event it does rain before we are done, we will continue at the Hit House cages in Bridge City at 2:00. Please wear pants and cleats for the field, but BE SURE to bring shorts and turf shoes in case we are forced to go indoors. Sorry for this inconvenience. We look forward to seeing you at 10:00.

Due to a scheduling conflict, IF we are forced indoors, it will be at Hit House from 2:00-5:00. I will post here Saturday morning if we are going indoors.

In the event of rain Friday or Saturday, we will move indoors at the Orange County Hit House 2467 W. Roundbunch Bridge City Time will remain 10:00. I will post here early Saturday morning if we are indeed moving. #planningahead

MOJO FASTPITCH would like to announce the addition of a new team for the upcoming ’18 - ’19 season. They will play competitive and showcase tournaments with a focus on recruiting. The team will be coached by James Birdwell, who brings over 20 yrs experience with him to this team. Tryouts will be for girls between birth years of 2001-2005, or 14U thru 18U. We are looking for all positions. Tryouts will be held at the Beaumont Athletic Complex on College Street. Tryouts: Saturday, August 4th @ 10:00 am Sunday, August 12th @ 2:00 pm For info or questions : James Birdwell 409-738-5479 Michael Wright 409-540-1040

Should be a good game.

Orange CRUSH 18U (Birdwell) and Orange CRUSH 16U will be holding joint try-outs on Sunday 8/18 and Sunday 9/1. Both try-outs will begin at 3:00 at the CRUSH fields in West Orange, located across from the WO-S football stadium. CRUSH fielded a 16U team this summer for the first time in several years. We are looking, as an organization, to grow that team and make it stronger to give younger players an opportunity to be on a roster that will attract college coaches. The emphasis for this team will be college recruiting. Both teams will work together at times, and seperately when needed. Our goal is to provide a positive environment for good kids who are excellent students an opportunity to grow their skill and move on to the collegiate level. EVERY Orange CRUSH (Birdwell) high school graduate over the past 5 years who opted to play at the collegiate level HAS HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY. If you are interested, or have questions or concerns for either team, please feel free to contact me. James Birdwell 409-738-5479 cell (after 4:00 pm please)

We will hold an open practice / tryout Sunday May 5th and again Sunday May 19th at 2:00 pm at the CRUSH fields in West Orange, located across from the WO-S football stadium. We will be looking for all postions, particularly middle infield and outfield, and could always use more pitching. If you are still involved in HS playoffs, just come by and we'll have a discussion - I know the HS school coaches don't want anyone working out for fear of injury - I'm OK with that.  For more information, please contact James Birdwell  --  409-738-5479 cell If you want to know what we are about, what our goals are etc, please feel free to contact me.

We are looking for players who are excellent students, of exceptional character, with a strong work ethic, and who are willing to learn how to succeed both on the field and off. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or conflicts.  Confidential individual try-outs may be arranged as needed. James Birdwell - Manager 409-738-5479 cell
