Once again the Kern County Amateur Softball Association and the Kern River Girls Softball are planning on holding  the Kern County ASA Senior All-Star Softball Game.  Again, we will be needing some sponsors so that we don't have to charge the players for anything. We have to pay for the player insurance, umpires, the awards, the T-shirts, field use, lights and other expenses! We will again charge admission to help with raising some of the money needed. If we can turn a profit, the money will go to a scholarship to one of the deserving players in the game. If you can help out, or know someone who can, please do!

Tentative plans:
First, we will have one 8 inning game. Eight innings so that coaches can get all the girls playing time.
Second, the game will be played on a Wednesday evening (June 11) so that all the travel league players can take part in this years game.

Third, each High School can nominate two (2) players (If you feel you have more on your team that deserve consideration contact me). I try to follow every Kern County high school that fields a softball team in Kern County. There are over 30 High schools in Kern County this year and we can't pick every player nominated from every school! We would like to have as many High Schools taking part as possible! We would like to keep the teams at around 14-18 players each?

Fourth, the awards for this year will be as follows: A scholarship to a deserving player that hasn’t received one from any College or University, MVP of the game (usually a pitcher), Outstanding player (usually a hitter or defensive player), Coaches awards, Outstanding Kern County Woman of Softball. (If you want to nominate someone for this honor, please feel free to do so!)

If you have any ideas, please let us hear from you. This game is for our local girls to show off one last time to the Bakersfield fans and to be seen by some college couches. Last year we had 7 college coach’s in attendance. We are looking for more this year.

By the way, last years Kern County ASA Woman of Softball, Kristine Karr-Jacobson will be inducted into the Central California Amateur Softball Association (CCASA) Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 3, 2008 at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore.

Please try to find a sponsor to help us out this year. We need your help!

Thank you,
