CAMP UPDATE: Jayda Coleman was originally planned to participate in the Camp but has been called up to represent Team USA at the World Cup the same week of the camp! We wish her much success as she competes in Italy. OU Pitcher and 2X National Champion Kierston Deal will be taking her place at camp.
Kinzie Hansen and Kierston Deal have all been integral parts of the current dynasty of Oklahoma softball, and collectively have been nominated for multiple Espy awards. Kinzie is a 4X national champion, and Kierston is a 2X National Champion. Both have won numerous other individual and team accolades. Kinzie Hansen is a member of the 2024 USA Softball Women’s National Team and the 2023 Johnny Bench Award winner for Best College Softball Catcher and 4X All American. She currently holds the single-game program record for hits with five and entered 2023 ranked 10th in OU program history with 49 career home runs. Kierston Deal is one of the aces in the circle for the Sooners and was named 2024 All Big 12 team. Kierston went 13-1 in 2024 regular season, and pitched big innings during this year’s Women’s College World Series.

Parade of Teams: Parade Staging will be 4:30-5:15 PM Parade will begin at 5:30 PM
Check back for a map of DROP OFF and Parking in the area. NO NEED TO RUSH: Your team will parade in the order you get in line during the staging. Age Groups do NOT need to be together. Multiple age groups from one organization CAN parade together if you all get in line at the same time.
Parade Details: Our goal is for the players to be comfortable and have fun!
There is no theme for the parade. Some teams will come in matching team shirts and shorts, some funny hairdos, face paint, big hats, tutus, and some teams go all out and wear full costumes. Use your imagination. Team banners CAN be carried in the parade. Please - NO CANDY.
In 2023 we had 123 teams participate in the parade. It took 35 mins from start to finish. Teams will parade, then on stage will be announced & have a picture taken.

If a team has a few OLDER players on it, the team can still enter the ODD Age Group World Series, but those OLDER player(s) will NOT be ELIGIBLE to participate in the ODD Age Group World Series Tournament.
