July 11 – 21
2014 The 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship Softball stars from across the globe are getting ready to play ball at the 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Taking place from July 11 to 21 at three Surrey-based venues, this world-class championship is the largest softball event of its kind in the country. This year, the participating teams will vie for championship titles in five different divisions: Women’s division, Futures Gold and Select divisions, and Showcase Gold and Select divisions. More than 1,300 athletes will compete in over 350 ballgames throughout the course of the 11-day event.
EVENT ENDS JULY 15TH 2014
“We are looking forward to another outstanding year for the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship,” said Greg Timm, President & Chairman of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Society. “Expect to see a lot of amazing international talent in addition to some promising young rising stars from all over British Columbia.” The Women’s Championship will take place from July 12 – 21, and will welcome some of the top national teams from around the world including Team Canada, Team Japan, Team USA, and Team Mexico. Canada’s entry in the tournament will feature many familiar faces to longtime Canadian Open Fastpitch spectators, including North Delta native, Jen Yee, who has been a member of the Canadian National Team since 2007 and played in the 2008 Olympics, as well as Joey Lye, one of the team’s core players and leaders. The Women’s Championship will also include International Club team, Spain –
Basque Country, and North American Club teams Bloomington Lady Hearts, NJCAA All Stars, and the returning favourite, the White Rock Renegades. “We are dedicated to providing these high-calibre female athletes with the opportunity to represent their respective countries in a fun, competitive, and professionally organized tournament, and to also measure themselves against the best of the best,” added Timm. “These accomplished women also provide inspiration and mentorship to young aspiring softball players and encourage them to always strive for and reach their personal best.” For the Futures (U19) division, there will be a Futures Gold Championship from July 14 – 20, and a Futures Select Championship, running from July 17 – 20. The Showcase (16U) players will also take part in two separate tournaments: the Showcase Gold will play from July 11 – 16 and the
Showcase Select division will take the field from July 11 – 14. Both tournaments provide a unique opportunity for young softball players to be noticed for their talents and will feature plenty of homegrown talent, with teams including Fleetwood Force, Cloverdale Fury, PoCo Ravens, Delta Heat, South Surrey Thunder, and Surrey Storm, just to name a few. “The Canadian Open Fastpitch Society invites hundreds of college and university scouts to the tournament, which gives players an excellent opportunity to be recognized and considered for scholarships to some of North America’s top schools,” added Timm. The Women’s division games will take place at Softball City. Other venues for the 2014 Canadian Open Fastpitch include Cloverdale Athletic Park (6330 168 St) and Sunnyside Park (15455 26 Ave).

INTERNATIONAL TALENT
Welcoming the World’s Top Players to Surrey The 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship is honoured to welcome talented teams from around the world, playing in the Women’s Championship from July 12 – 21.
Team Canada
Team Japan
Team USA
Team Mexico
As one of the top ranked softball teams in the world based on the 2012 ISF Women’s World Softball Championship standings, the team fought some strong battles in last year’s championship, finishing in the top four at the end of the event. Having an entire year to prepare for the 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, Team Canada will be fighting to win the Championship with lots of support from their home crowd in this year’s games.
Currently ranked number one in the world based on their performance at the 2012 ISF Women’s World Softball Championship, Team Japan is back and ready to take the championship title for the fourth consecutive year as Canadian Open Fastpitch International Champions. Last year, the gold medal game was a tightly contested one, as it went into extra innings after a scoreless draw in regulation time. Team Japan was able to secure their gold medal in what was a phenomenal ball game for both teams and spectators alike.
Team USA is ready to take on the challenge to earn the top spot at the 2014 Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Last year, the semi-final game saw Team USA and Team Australia go head-to-head for the chance to compete for the top spot. The dramatic semi-final game went into extra innings, and Team USA finished strong with a bronze medal. This year, they are ready to hit the field running as they strive to claim the top spot.
Returning to Softball City after an absence at the 2013 tournament, Team Mexico will be bringing their A-game to the diamond, looking to earn a place in the finals. In 2012 they made it to the playoffs where they finished in the top 6 in the Women’s Elite Division.
This year the Women’s Division will also showcase International and North America Club teams, as they play for the top spot in this level of high-intensity competition:
BLOOMINGTON HEARTS | NJCAA ALL STARS | SPAIN - BASQUE COUNTRY | WHITE ROCK RENEGADES
FUTURES GOLD:
FUTURES SELECT:
July 14 – July 20 and Showcase Gold: July 11 – July 16 The Futures and Showcase Gold Divisions are comprised of some of the top club teams from around the United States and Canada.
July 17 – July 20 and Showcase Select: July 11 – July 14 The Futures Select (U19) International Championship will be a tightly contested battle between players under 19 years of age on participating BC teams as well as teams from the Pacific Northwest region.
The Futures Gold (U19) International Championship will feature the top North American teams, as well as the New Zealand National Youth Team, who will all be vying for the title of 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Champion. The Showcase Gold (16U) International Championship is the place to catch the rising stars of softball on local teams from the United States and Canada.
The Showcase Select (16U) International Championship displays the top up-andcoming talent aged 16 and under playing on teams from Canada and the United States.
Youth
CAN LEARN FROM THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD
Girls and boys ages eight to 16 are invited to play ball with the world’s finest softball stars from the Women’s Division with a series of Youth Softball Clinics. These clinics are a great opportunity for participants to learn techniques and strategies from top athletes on Team Canada, Team Japan, Team USA, and Team Mexico, and to hear inspiring stories of perseverance, dedication, and unwavering passion. Clinics run daily from July 15 through to July 18, 9:00am – 11:30am at Sunnyside Park. The cost of each clinic is $50 CAD per child per clinic, or $165 per child for all four clinics. Participants will
receive a complimentary t-shirt and one complimentary child/teen admission for the 2014 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, valid for use on July 16. Canadian Open Fastpitch teams hosting the Youth Clinics include Team Mexico (July 15), Team USA (July 16), Team Canada (July 17), and Team Japan (July 18). Those who are too young to participate in the Youth Clinics, or are being introduced to the sport of softball for the first time, can also join in on the fun, as Softball BC and Canadian Open Fastpitch will host the Learn to Play Softball Clinics on July 12 (9:00am – 12:30pm) and July 19 (1:00pm – 4:30pm). Participants will receive a complimentary t-shirt and the opportunity to join the Parade of Athletes on July 16.

Head coach of Fleetwood Force 96, Rockie Gagne, has been coaching his daughters, ages seven and nine, since they anxiously asked if they could play ball in Whalley.
