from Debbie Craig

The Stittsville Minor Softball Association is pleased to announce the return of competitive girls fastpitch softball to Stittsville this year. Both the Bantam U16 and Midget U18 girls teams will be competing at the Tier 2 level in Ontario in 2015.

The Stittsville 56'ers name has been around for a very long time and has produced many great fastpitch players from the Stittsville area. In recent years the SMSA organization has supported 56'ers Select level teams at various age levels with tremendous success including Squirt Provincial Gold in 2013 and Mite Provincial Silver and Peewee Provincial Gold in 2014. This year is no different with 56'ers Select competitive teams at the U10,  U12 and U14 age groups.

However, the U16 and U18 teams are taking their talents on the road to travel and compete across Quebec and Ontario against some of the best fastpitch teams in the Province. From Montreal  to Niagara Falls and many stops in between, all of the athletes are very excited to make this jump and play their sport at its highest level.

The Bantam U16 Rep team is represented by - Lauren Daize, Haley Dunnigan, Ellyn Edwards, Alex Geoffrion, Mya Haddow, Mackenzie Leonard, Mikayla Major, Alana McPhail, Zoe Moore,  Haley Seguin, and Maiya Tisdall.
