K/1/2 In-House League
This program is designed for girls currently in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. This league will play against teams from Chanhassen, Carver, and Eden Prairie. Teams meet two nights per week. Teams will also participate in an end of the season tournament at the end of June. The season runs from May - end of June.
The league plays by ASA rules with some modifications.
This is a coach pitch division with the emphasis on teaching basic skills, general rules of the game and equal playing time/positions (at coach's discretion due to missed practices, sickness or absence). Games/practices will be scheduled on Monday and Wednesdays, but may change due to field availability or inclement weather.
The Community program is offered to 10U and 12U players, based off age eligibility for the year. Teams are divided evenly by ability and formed at the 10U and 12U levels. League games are played against other Big West communities. Teams typically meet two nights per week for games/practices. Teams will participate in a state qualifying tournament (at the end of June) and if qualifying, a state tournament (early July). The season runs from May – July.

We are thrilled to welcome back Cass Kreitlow of Powerhouse Mechanics. Cass grew up in Chanhassen, MN and attended St. Huberts. Life took him to San Diego, where he became affiliated with Powerhouse Mechanics, and now he's back in MN. His main experience is playing/coaching baseball, but has been trained by Powerhouse to coach fastpitch.
Session Details (Please note locations for each session):
Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 - Chaska High School Back Gym

To maximize the benefit of each session, it is required that your player attends one of the first two sessions in order to attend any of the other seven remaining sessions. This will allow Coach Cass to explain Powerhouse Mechanics foundations in these initial sessions and not have to repeatedly go through those at the start of each session.
