We have done a lot of learning in the last 20-something years in running the Twisters. I’m sure many don’t know the story behind what we started… as we wind down the last final years of the Twisters, we want to make sure the legacy we leave behind was a good one. We are committed to all of our girls, coaches and families. Our goal has always been to prove that the under-dogs can be just as good. We pride ourselves in creating a club that values sportsmanship and family values, and giving some a chance that maybe others didn’t and not breaking the bank to play. However, the type of players we want to have on our teams are the ones who love the game - that knows that being a great player means putting in work behind the scenes, communicating struggles and asking for help, and the desire to want to succeed. But with that comes being humble as well. We don’t learn and grow if we never fail. Our goal is to win* but Losing is a part of life and learning to deal with loss with grace, is a lifeskill. So in these final years, we hope that the families that join us or continue to stay with us- understand our vision and want to walk beside us.

PSA: tryout information

*We are NOT holding public tryouts this year. We are solely leaning on keeping the current teams together as much as possible. In the event we need to fill a few positions, we will post what we are looking to fill and will do smaller, private tryouts. This will be coordinated with an owner and one of our coaches. Please feel free to reach out if you or your daughter would like to inquire about a possible open position.

I have found our stash of Twisters T-shirts and tank tops! Color: red, sizes vary.

These cost me approx. $18 each but to reduce inventory, selling for $10

Please send me a text if anyone would like any or to verify I have the size you’re looking for - 701-421-5135 (Katie)

Nobody prepares you for this part of softball.

Not every teammate is going to cheer for you.

Some will secretly hope you fail.
Some will celebrate your bad game because it means more innings, more at-bats, or more attention for them.
Some will smile to your face and tear you down the second you walk away.

That’s the ugly side of competition.

Don’t let someone else’s insecurity become your identity.

Keep showing up.
Keep putting in the work.
Keep being the teammate you’d want beside you when the game is on the line.

Because eventually talent gets noticed…

But CHARACTER gets remembered.

The mean girls? They’ll always exist.

Don’t become one of them just because they made your season harder.

Let them waste energy tearing people down.

You spend yours becoming so damn good they can’t ignore you.

The game has a funny way of rewarding the ones who stay humble, stay hungry, and keep grinding when nobody’s clapping.

Protect your peace.

Protect your work ethic.

And never let a jealous teammate convince you to play smaller than you’re capable of.

Keep grinding.

Your time is coming.

Taking orders still until May 1st.
