Team Italy U15 softball: roster revealed for Bollate tourney and European Softball Championship
With less than a month to prepare for the U15 European Softball Championship in the Netherlands, U15 manager Maristella Perizzolo has selected 17 players to participate in the upcoming U16 Bollate tournament from July 1-3, 2022
With her eyes set upon the U15 European Softball Championship in Enschede from July 18-23, 2022, Team Italy U15 manager Maristella Perizzolo must do everything she can to prepare her young and talented squad for some tough competition. Considering the U15 softball team will participate in the U16 Bollate Softball Tournament and face older players from Bollate, Caronno, La Loggia, Parma and Czech Republic from July 1-3, 2022, the strategy might very well pay off.
The games in Bollate will be played for a maximum of 90 minutes, and there will be a mandatory 80 minute recovery period before the next game. In addition, offenses will be limited to four runs per inning. The final standings will be based on points and not winning percentages with the following format: three points for a win, one point a tie and no points for a loss.
