2024 Chaska Youth Softball Association News

Pre Registration - 2025 Season

As we look ahead to the upcoming 2025 season, we’re excited to announce a change in our evaluation schedule. This year, we are transitioning to holding evaluations in the fall rather than in late winter/early spring.

Tryout Dates and Location:

  • Date: October 26th (October 27th is reserved in case of inclement weather)
  • Location: Chaska Community Park Fields
  • Who: ALL 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U players
  • Time: Schedule listed below
  • Cost: $50.00 (non-refundable)

Please note that there will be a non-refundable evaluation fee of $50.00. This fee helps us cover the costs associated with organizing the tryouts and preparing for the season.

The evaluations will be conducted by members of the Chaska High School coaching staff, ensuring a thorough and professional assessment of each player. Additionally, players from the high school team will be on hand to assist with the stations, providing guidance and support.

We believe this change will allow us to better plan for the upcoming season, form teams and give our athletes more time to develop their skills.

In the event that the weather isn’t ideal, we will transition back to holding evaluations in late winter. We will keep you informed of any changes as we get closer to the dates.

Equipment Requirements:

  • Helmet
  • Bat
  • Glove
  • Fielding mask
  • Catcher’s equipment (if you have your own). Please let us know if you need catchers equipment supplied at evaluations. 
  • Water bottle 

Registration will close on Sunday, October 20th at 11:59 pm.
