Storm is a local travel softball program located in Woodstock, IL. Tryouts are held in July. We begin play at the end of August through October. Then we head inside for indoor practices starting in January. We head back outside in April to play tournaments in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. All home games and practices are held at Bates Park in Woodstock, IL.
Our mission is to improve our players abilities in all aspects, while also teaching sportsmanship and respect for the game. The Storm program is designed as a travel lite program, allowing girls a travel ball experience at lower costs as well as allowing for the ability to be a multi-sport athlete.
