All Fastpitch Players Welcome

All players are welcome.

All players are welcome.

If you are a rep girls fastpitch player who has found yourself without a team for the 2023 season, please contact us. Do not give up. Don't step away from the sport. We can help! Let's get you on a roster!

Many of our Select players used to play rep ball. They made the seamless transition to play a full season of Stingers houseleague ball and play on a Select team with Newmarket. Less cost, less travel and less stress. More games, more fun, more security. Our league is growing and we want to make sure every girl who wants to play ball will get to play ball.
