Kettle Moraine Laser Fastpitch Club

Player eligibility is based on the player's birth year                       (see image below). 

KMLFC is aware of the recent change to cutoffs by USA Softball, we are keeping the birth year age brackets in order for KMLFC teams to be able to compete in tournaments, whether or not the tournaments changed their age eligibility requirements.

We are excited to have your child tryout for the Kettle Moraine Lasers Fastpitch Program. We have a thorough process for tryouts which should allow each player to show their potential.

Players and one parent should plan on arriving to tryouts about 30 minutes prior to the start time to check in.

Each family should register their child(ren) for their 2024 age eligibility group.  (This is a change from previous years.)  For the 2024 season, there will be an emphasis on each child playing with their age eligible team.   Exceptions will be made for a child of advanced skills, or in some instances a specific team need.  This will be determined by the tryout evaluators and the KMLFC advisory board.  

All tryouts will be held at Kettle Moraine High School, 349 N Oak Crest Dr., Wales, WI 53183

At tryouts you should bring:
1. A check or checks made out to KM Community Education (Please see below for amounts).  Full payment is mandatory and a tryout will not be allowed if payment is not made.
2. Players will provide their own bat, glove, cleats and fielding face masks (batting gloves, if desired).
3. Players should wear softball pants (preferred) or shorts.

 

Once arriving at tryouts with your child, we ask you to check in with us at our tent/table and turn in all player fees. Once all players have been registered, we will gather the players and head to the field for tryouts. Parents will not be allowed next to the field and are asked to either leave or watch from near the registration area.  After tryouts, parents will be directed toward the field for a short meeting, and they can collect their child(ren).

• If your child does not make the team you will receive your check(s) back after tryouts.
• If your child does make the team there will be an offer letter sent to them, and they will need to accept or decline a spot on the roster.

We ask you to fill out this registration for each child in your family who may be trying out. This is the contact information that will be used for all communication regarding tryouts, and throughout next season.

All player fees must be paid at tryouts.  Checks should be made out to KM Community Education.

• A split payment option is available. Make one check out for ½ the total fee dated the day of the tryout and a second check for the other ½ of the fee dated 2/1/2024.
• Checks will be returned for any player that is not placed on a KMLFC 2024 roster

The following Player Fees will be assessed:

• Returning Players
  • U8 - $225
  • U10 – U18 - $375
