While the frigid winter temperatures 诲辞苍91裸聊视频檛 necessarily conjure up thoughts of base hits and strikeouts, is already ramping up for a busy 2017 at High Noon Park.

Kelowna will play host to 10 tournaments this spring and summer, culminating with the Softball B.C. U18 B provincial championship, July 15 to 17.

Ninety teams are already confirmed for tournaments in 2017, with as many as 150 travel teams expected to make their way to Kelowna from across B.C. and Alberta.

The season will kick off April 15 and 16 with the U14, U16 and U18 Open Ice Breaker event featuring 24 迟别补尘蝉91裸聊视频�17 of those from Alberta.

At the house and rep levels, registration for Kelowna Minor Fastball was up about five per cent last season, with more than 150 girls playing the sport.
