Cat Osterman Experience
We told you there would be more to come
and this is BIG! USSSA has teamed up with Cat Osterman and the Cat
Osterman Experience.
This is the Place,
which is home to the Cat Osterman Experience, a multi-million dollar complex
designed to provide the ultimate softball experience to girls, their
fastpitch teammates, and their families. It is situated on a beautiful 40
acre site in Bellevue, Nebraska (the third largest city in Nebraska located
just 10 minutes outside of Omaha) in the ‘heartland’ of America.
This is the Place,
that offers a “stay-n-play” Invitational Softball Tournament not found
anywhere else in the world. At no other time in the history of girls
Softball has there been an Invitational Softball Tournament like the Cat
Osterman Experience, with its unique softball atmosphere. It is here, that
teams each week from the U.S. and Canada come to stay while they learn and
compete.
This is the Place,
where the softball greats of today meet and inspire the softball greats of
tomorrow! It’s this experience that will allow you and your teammates the
opportunity to meet and learn from Cat Osterman and/or one of her Olympic
teammates.
This is the Place,
where dreams really do come true! The Cat Osterman
Experience offers the girl softball players of today a
chance to fulfill childhood dreams. We trust you will
agree this is the opportunity of a lifetime. If you love
softball and kids, the Cat Osterman Experience is for
you. It is a must for the young fastpitch Softball
player.
USSSA is introducing the NO TEAMMATE LEFT BEHIND grant
program. Due to the economic situation some
players may not be unable to attend. USSSA has
developed a grant program which may award money to keep
a teammate from staying home.

Program contact your State Director. brucekrause@hotmail.com
