Important Dates
The Tri-County League is affiliated with Minnesota Softball, a subset of USA Softball. The league schedules games between member associations along with hosting a State Qualifier and the largest State Tournament in Minnesota. In 2019, the Tri County league had over 260 teams participating between the 10U-16U levels . Tri County also offers an 8u Program, but in efforts to keep our 8u players closer to home, we use a local league, Centennial little league to manage our 8u Program.
