Illinois Shockwave 14u ended their softball season finishing in 3rd Place in the NSA “A” World Series / Nationals tournament. It was phenomenal season in which the team went 35-12 overall. These girls never gave up and always played their hearts out with passion and positive attitudes, each and every time they set foot on a softball diamond. A true pleasure to watch them in action both on and off the field. Throughout "Fall Ball" and the regular softball season, Coaches Christine Christopoulos and Rocky Sapienza, parents, family, friends, and fans got to witness some spectacular defensive plays, in which double plays were being executed, unbelievable diving catches were made, and a few over the fence home runs were hit. Thank you ladies for the excitement, memories and heart pounding action! Go Shockwave!

Tryouts for the 2016/17 season will be held this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Harrer Park in Morton Grove. Please visit our web site for specifics and to download a registration form at www.illinois-shockwave.org.
