Cerritos Girls Softball Association all-stars were recently picked for the upcoming 2014 summer season that could stretch as late as the beginning of August. This summer, there will only be three teams as the 14-Under age group will not field an all-star team.
In addition, confirmed tournaments were announced with the first one coming the weekend of May 23-26 when the teams will participate in the San Dieguito Memorial Day Tournament. The following weekend, the teams will play in the South Huntington Beach Tournament.
The Chino Hills Tournament (June 13-15) and the Amateur Softball Association ‘B’ District Tournament (June 20-22) are the other confirmed tournaments. There is a possibility that one, two or all three teams will pick up another tournament the weekend of June 6-8. In addition, teams have an opportunity to advance to the ASA ‘B’ state tournament the first weekend of July if they are among the top four teams (top two for 8-Under) from their age group in the district tournament.
