Tournaments
Tournaments are a key part of the Raiders experience, and is a great opportunity for players of all levels. Tournaments offer a fun and competitive environment to develop your skills and gain valuable experience.
Whether you're playing for skill development or competition, entering tournaments is one of the best ways to push yourself and have fun at the same time!
Tournaments are added throughout the year, so be sure to check the sign up form regularly and let us know if you would like to participate.
Why play in tournaments?
Get more playing time – The best way to improve your game is by playing, and tournaments give you multiple games (typically up to 6 games a day) in a short space of time. This helps build confidence, grow your skills, and enhance your understanding of the game.
Try out new positions – Tournaments are a great chance to step outside your usual position. You’ll have the opportunity to take on new roles within a team - including captaining!
Meet new people – Softball is as much about the community as it is about the sport. Tournaments bring together players from different teams and backgrounds, helping you make new friends beyond the diamond.
