August 24-26, 2007

Elkland, PA - On August 24th, the Elkland Softball Association will hold it's 14th Annual Elkland First Weekend Tournament.
The tournament was started in 1994, which ended the Elkland Labor Day Tournament's 40 year run as a two weekend event. Since then the event has grown and become a favorite of teams who attend as a tuneup for the ASA Nationals, or possibly the Canadian Nationals.

For the 2nd straight season, the ESA has decided to restrict the playing field to not allow ISC open level pitchers AND position players. In the past only pitchers were restricted, but in 2006 the rule was changed to allow a more balanced level of competition. This rule especially hits home for the the towns travel team, the Elkland Fastpitch Team. the team and it's players will not be allowed to compete in the event this year, marking the first time in team history that Elkland Fastpitch will not be playing in Elkland over this weekend.

Here are the details for the tournament:
