PAC SOFTBALL 2020

We are excited about the possibility of reestablishing PAC’s softball team. Our goal is to establish a team that will be ready to compete during the 2020 spring season. We are looking to field one team which will be either JV or Varsity depending on the age of the girls interested.

At this time, we are looking at practices being held at Bray Park located at 280 Bray Park Road, Cayce, SC 29172, beginning in January and potentially extending into early May. Practices will most likely be held on weekday evenings, but times will be determined by the head coach. Games will be held during the week against public and private schools in SC. Some travel will be involved as with any high school sport. There is a possibility of a couple weekend tournaments and practices, but these will be discussed once the team is established.  

An informational meeting and tryouts will be planned to discuss details once interest is determined. Please spread the word and contact Stacey Owens at (803) 308-4824 or PACfastpitchsoftball@gmail.com to express interest or for additional information.

Thank you,

Stacey Owens
