Practices and home games are held at Valley Ridge Ball Fields, Field #3, a turf field located at 4644 S. 188th St., SeaTac, WA 98188.  

Depending on the weather, if we need to practice inside, we will do so in the KCHS Goodwin Gym and gym loft batting cages.  This will be communicated through the REMIND app.  Always be prepared with indoor tennis shoes or cleats/turf shoes.

All field change notifications will be communicated via REMIND.

Transportation is NOT provided after practices or home games.  Athletes must arrange for a parent or guardian to pick them up following these activities.

COMMUNICATION: Coach McDonough uses REMIND for all team communication. Athletes and parents are required to sign up for the REMIND app and join the Fastpitch group.  The access code will be provided to athletes who make the team.  All updates regarding practices, games, schedules, and team announcements will be sent through REMIND.
