Sting is our competitive travel team fastpitch softball program. If you love softball, consider trying out for Sting. You'll play action-packed, unforgettable games during two-day tournaments in the summer and fall. The experience can be exciting and challenging, fast-paced and fun. Also you'll learn advanced skills from experienced women coaches, most of whom have competitive softball experience at the collegiate level. These women are wonderful teachers who both inspire the girls and continue the ABGSL tradition of great skills development in a nurturing environment.

Sting teams are for the more motivated player who wants to play competitively and develop advanced skills. ABGSL sponsors summer and fall Sting teams for girls who played ABGSL recreational ball in the spring 2008 season and ASA-registered recreational players that played interleague with ABGSL this spring. Our teams play in tournaments of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) Pacific Coast Region 14, Junior Olympic B and C Divisions. Depending on the number and skill level of players, we hope to offer two 10U teams and two 12U teams in Summer 2008.

We are happy to announce the selections for the 2008 Sting "B" teams.

46 girls participated in the tryouts on Sunday May 4th. Their enthusiasm and effort are to be commended. 23 girls tried out for 10U and 23 for 12U. We were unable to accommodate two 10U teams and two 12U teams; therefore we have one 10U team and one 12U team.

Summer players who wish to continue in the fall have first priority for fall team positions; any fall team positions not filled by summer players will be filled by players who attended the Sting tryouts on May 4th. You will be contacted at the end of the summer season for fall play.

Summer players will be contacted separately with information on fees and logistics.
