New So Cal League to Host Tournament at Mayfair Park, Lakewood, CA – Jan 20-21, 2007

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

So Cal Fastpitch returns to one of its legendary fields, Mayfair Park in Lakewood, former home of the Lakewood Jets, and rival of the Long Beach Nitehawks. The field is one of the nicest facilities in Southern California, and hosted many top flite tournaments and teams in the 1970’s through the 1990’s. The vice-commish for the new Southern California Independant Fastpitch League, Ron Rupp provides information below on the new leagues’ first tournament. (Ron Rupp has a long history at Mayfair Park, having served as the batboy for the Lakewood Jets, run by his late father, Lanny Rupp. Rupp went on to play for the Jets, and continues to play locally. )

The newly formed SCIFL plans to hold a pre season tune up Fastpitch Tournament on January 20th & 21st at beautiful Mayfair park in Lakewood, Ca. Since the League will begin early this year on the weekend of Feb 17th, League officials thought there might be some interest in a pre season Tourney to give the players some work before the League begins. This Tourney will be open to the “B” and “C” teams, we suspect up to 10 teams will want to participate in this SCIFL event? The fee will be $300 and will be played in the round robin format with each team playing a four game minimum. Since the SCIFL is a soveriegn or independent League, we plan to offer our teams the option of National bids from both the ASA and NAFA in 2007. If your Team is interested in participating in this SCIFL pre season event, please leave a message @ 562-989-3339 or Email FHANKER@aol.com

Sincerly SCIFL

Fred Hanker Tabbed as Commissioner for New So Cal League

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

From the Fastpitchwest Forum, California section:

I would like to take this time to introduce myself. My name is Fred Hanker and I was appointed the commissioner of the new 2007 NAFA So Cal B-C League. If you are a manager and were unable to attend the meeting please leave me a message with your email address and I will contact you. I hope to have all the managers emails and communicate with you in that way. If you were present and I did not get your email address please leave it with me also.

It is with great anticipation and I look forward to a new start with this league. I will need all the managers help in order to make this work. This is a huge undertaking and I will do my best to represent everyone. In the next week or so I will be working on a league constitution to be given to each manager at the next meeting in January. I will try to set a date in the next few weeks. I also plan on making a web site for the league that will be up and running in a few weeks.

As most of you know I have my own team that I run so all of your help will be necessary in order for this to work. There is still many things that need to be decided in the upcoming months and I welcome any ideas and suggestions. I hope to hear from all managers with your contact information as soon as possible. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to represent Southern California.
