The Indian Hills Community College softball team has been chosen to play in the prestigious National Fastpitch Coaches Association Leadoff Classic in Florida next March.
The field for the tourney will include 16 NJCAA Division I teams and eight NJCAA Division II teams, 14 of which participated in their respective division’s national tournament in 2010.
Indian Hills qualified for the NJCAA Division I national tourney last May, the 16th time the school played in the national tournament.
Each participant in the Leadoff Classic was selected on the basis of its cumulative achievements over the past three seasons.
The tournament will be played March 4-6 in Panama City Beach, Florida.
The classic will be divided into pool play and bracket play with each team guaranteed a minimum of five games.
The Warriors, who were 33-24 and Region 11 and District K champions last year, will make the classic a part of their season-opening trip in 2011.
