2003 SPONSORSHIP REQUEST
About The Stix
The
Texas Stix are a 1st year Central Texas 14 under Division
"A" girls fast pitch softball team.
The team was formed as a 10 under team in September 1999 by coaches Jeff
Staton and Mark Short. Team members are
from the Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Hutto area. Please visit the Stix website at http://www.texasstix.org for more
information about our team. The Stix
provide young girls with the opportunity to compete in a competitive athletic
environment in a family atmosphere. The
Stix are a self-sufficient team funded primarily by the payment of dues by the
parents. The coaches volunteer their
time without salary or stipend and are committed to the development of the
player’s character, social & athletic skills. This provides the girls with a foundation to
succeed as high school athletes & in college if they choose this
route. More importantly, they are
developed as productive citizens of the community.
2002 Recap and 2003 Season
In
2002, this team philosophy resulted in the Stix winning one tournament and
qualifying for three national tournaments.
The Stix competed in the AFA National Tournament in Oklahoma City
finishing 17th out of 50 teams.
In the fall, the team moved up to 14 under competition finishing second
in the Round Rock Turkey Shootout Tournament.
During the upcoming 2003 season, the Stix will play in tournaments in
Central Texas and play in Amateur Softball Association (ASA), American Fast
pitch Association (AFA), and United States Fast pitch Association (USFA)
tournaments held in Dallas and Houston.
The team's goal is to qualify and play in at least one out-of state national
tournament. In 2004, the Stix will move
up to 16 under competition to prepare the girls for high school fast pitch softball
competition.

Stix are currently seeking sponsors for the 2003 season to help the team with

social and leadership skills.
