June 7, 2008

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Fifth Annual Champions Cup, which is elite, multi-divisional fastpitch softball event being held from July 16 – 20, 2008 in Irvine, California. The Champions Cup is organized and operated by the Southern California International Softball Festival and all net proceeds from this tournament will be deposited to a fund that will distribute awards directly to athletes that require financial assistance in the continuation of their college education.   2007 scholarship’s have been  awarded.

 The Champions Cup Junior Olympic Showcase will include top Gold and 18-Under teams from throughout the United States and Canada. Teams entered include the 2005, 2006, and 2007 ASA-USA Junior Olympic National Champions in both the 18U Gold and 18A divisions.  Many of these teams will participate as preparation for their National Championship tournaments in August.

The Champions Cup is extremely pleased to announce that the USA Softball team will be participating in an Exhibition game to be held Saturday, July 26, 2008.  This game may be your last chance ever to see an Olympic Softball team play.  It will also be the last exhibition game played in United States, as part of the “2008 Bound 4 Beijing Tour”.  Our best wishes will go with the great players, coaches and parents that comprise United States Olympic Softball.  The Champions Cup wishes them continued success in their date with Olympic glory and quest for a fourth consecutive Gold Medal.  Tickets are nearly sold out.  More information can be found at www.socal-asa.com

This year will not include the newly formatted Play-In Tournament due to schedule conflict, but will return in 2009.  In 2007, 5 berths were awarded for the 2008 Champions Cup.  

The Champions Cup will be hosted by the City of Irvine, centrally located in Orange County, California and one of the prime vacation destinations in the United States. The Col. Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park and Harvard Athletic Park will again serve as the primary venues for all tournament activity.   We also want to thank the Irvine Chamber of Commerce for their help in providing entertainment opportunities off of the softball field.

We are happy to announce that The Hyatt Regency of Irvine has agreed to return as one or our host hotels along with the Crown Plaza (Irvine).  In 2007, both of these hotels provided extra help and support in making the Champions Cup the success that it was.  The Irvine/ Orange County Airport Hilton is also providing support and lodging for this year’s Cup.

The Champions Cup is also pleased that Worth Sports and Ringor have chosen to remain as founding sponsors of the Champions Cup. These companies manufacture and represent the finest equipment and apparel available in fastpitch softball and have been tremendous supporters of the sport for many years. The Champions Cup is proud to join with them in continuing a new tradition in fastpitch softball.
