Welcome to Tri-State FireStix 14U

No, there is no fee to try out. At FireStix, we believe that financial status should not prevent anyone from playing travel softball. Everyone is welcome to participate in tryouts. 

Each player is required to pay a yearly Team Fee of $250. This fee is due within 30 days of accepting a spot on the team. 

 The yearly team fee covers essential expenses, including USA, USSSA, and Top Gun registrations, player insurance, field/facility rentals, and more. 

 The funds we receive from team fees are carefully budgeted to cover necessary expenses. Additional costs are managed through fundraising activities, ensuring all team needs are met. 

We strive to fundraise 100% of these expenses. For the past two seasons, we have successfully covered all costs through fundraising, but this relies heavily on the efforts of both parents and players. Players must participate in fundraising activities to cover expenses such as uniforms, bat bags, helmets, tournament entry fees, and other related costs. If we do not raise enough funds to cover everything, parents may need to pay for specific items. Here’s an estimated breakdown of individual expenses:

-Boombah Superpack Rolling Custom Bat Bag: $140

-Boombah Batting Helmet with Face Mask: $60

-Two Custom Uniforms: $200

-Tournament Entry Fees: $500

-Total: $900

No fees, donations, or fundraised money will be refunded if a player withdraws from the team. However, if a player raises over $1,000, any amount exceeding $1,000 can be refunded up to $200 (equivalent to the initial Team Fee) at the conclusion of our last tournament. 

We plan to participate in 3 fall tournaments and 7-8 summer tournaments for the 2024-2025 season.  Tournament locations are TBD because we are waiting for tournaments to open.  However, we plan on staying within 1 – 2 hours of Charleston, WV.
