Tryouts

2023-2024 tryouts

Tryout for our Minnesota Vortex & Minnesota A's Fastpitch Club Program! Our mission is to develop players on and off the field. On top of developing skilled athletes, we also strive to positively impact our athletes' lives outside of softball as well.

Advantages of being apart of our MN Vortex & A's Family

- We have our own facilities! Loretto Athletic Complex is our Home Fields. We have our own TCOS Training Center in Plymouth. We do rent other fields and indoor facilities in the metro area.

- Our Winter Training Program offers training 5 days per week for each skill and many different times. This allows multi-sport athletes the flexibility to train when they're able. It allows players to train how often they want to. You do not have to pay extra to train more.

- We offer scholarships to families in need on an application basis so everyone has the opportunity to be apart of our MN Vortex & A's Family.

We strongly encourage you to attend your first club choice tryouts first!

We expect to have the following Teams and Head Coaches for the 2023-2024 season:

12U: Amanda Schlecht
12U Gold/National: Scott Peterson
13U Gold: Katie Uittenbogaard
13U National: Morgan Garbrecht
