Just our second tournament, and what a way to fight!  Our team is definitely in it to win it.  A great tournament by every player.  Everybody worked hard.  The hustle and intensity was awesome on elimination day!  Every part of the team was much improved from the first tournament.  Great Job Intensity!  2 Wins!  28 Runs Scored.  Look out next tournament, we're coming!!

Wow, for our first tournament, we put on a strong showing.  Even though we didn't get the wins, we battled hard in every game.  The girls beat ALL of the coaches expectations, with good pitching and catching, strong hitting (18 Hits, 15 Runs), and some pretty solid defense for our first tournament.  We had some "Monster" pitching, the catch of the tournament in CF by K.0., and a Barbie Home Run.  Every player made the tournament fun with their Desire, Effort, and Determination.  Great Job Intensity.  You Rock!

We played hard and we played until the end and came up a little short in Team Intensity's quest for a state title. We played six games over two days in 100 plus degree days to make a statement that TI Softball is not to be taken lightly. In the end pure exhaustion of three straight games caught up to TI preventing their ultimate goal. Saturdays highlights included a nice victory over the Xplosion, a 4-5 loss to the eventual winners, and a 12-0 win over the Scorpio. Sundays highlights include the come from behind win to score 9 straight runs with time expired to beat Chandler Crush. We sent Chaos home with a 13-1 victory over them. We outscored our opponents 44-26! We finished second in the state in the first year of Team Intensity. Way to go girls. You Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!

BREAKING NEWS...........TI FINISHES 2ND

In later news... The earth is still round and the sun is still hot.  TI traveled to Prescott playing the last tune-up tourney looking to get work in.  TI went 2 and 1 in pool play with the highlight win against the Vegas Lights.  After finishing 2nd in our bracket , our quarter finals were against the Prescott Lady Hawks in which we won 10-0.  Our girls played a complete game from start to finish.  Next up was a sizable Verde Valley Blaze coming into the game with a 4-0 record and averaging 10 point wins against their opposition.  Verde Valley ran into the"TI Buzzsaw" falling to TI 14-1.  Our final game was a rematch against the Vegas Lights whose players looked as tall as the pine trees around the park.   The game took on a championship boxing match feel.  With both sides swapping runs and neither side giving an inch.  The tying run was on her way home with the winning run rounding 3rd when the out was made and TI fell 5-6.  The final record of the weekend was 4 wins and 2 losses.  This Tourney had one of the best elimination day efforts TI has produced.  It truly was a Fathers Day gift to all the Dad's seeing how hard their daughters played.  5 weeks to go ladies.  Your Coaches could not be more proud of you.  

On a seperate note:  We won all 6 coin tosses (First time ever)

Team Intensity played in ASA Fun In The Sun Tournament this weekend and walked away with a 2nd place. We were playing with two starters on vacation when Drew decided to make a heroic out and break her wrist. Only Drew!! We picked up some awesome players and fought are way to the Championship Game finishing second. This tournament was meant to get some work in and our girls on average played in 4 different positions throughout the weekend rounding out their skills. It was fun bringing home hardware again and all the girls and coaches had a great time doing it. Remember girls the only way to live it, is the TI WAY TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!

Team Intensity is proud to have Shianne added to our roster.  Please welcome Wade,Shawna,Shianne and family to the Intensity family. 

Reminder we need to have the $10 per person and commitment for all that are attending the olympic team game in Prescott by May 6th so I can order the tickets. It should be a lot of fun.

Our national jerseys have been ordered and you will find on your statement the costs has been billed.  It was decided as a team to put their last names on the back. 

WOW is about the only word that comes to mind.  TI played some great games this weekend.  We ended with a 2-2 record but oh the games we played.  All the girls brought a want it to win it attitude.  All the games were close and hard fought.  You girls made all the coaches happy with your can do attitude. We gained alot from this tourney including two bruised fingers and more bruised bodies.  You played hard and fought a good fight.  Great Job!  We practice on Tuesday.(Green Shirts)  See you then!

TI once again flexed a little muscle and showed how we play ball. After a down tournament last week our girls showed up and played there hearts out. Everyone can lay claim to helping us make another Championship Game and pushing the eventual winners to their limits. We started off slow but our bats woke up at the end of the first game to beat the EV Pride. Next game we didn't do much falling to the Thunderhawks. The last pool game the girls finally just got back to playing TI ball and we beat the Scorpio 15-5. In elimanation we played a very game EV Pride who put up a good fight before falling 12 to 4. In  the Championship game we once again faced the Thunderhawks. We fought to a 1-1 tie going into the bottom of the 7th inning before losing by 1 run. It was the most exciting and hard fought game in the history of Team Intensity softball. Every family who calls Team Intensity home should be proud of the way our girls showed off all the hard work we put in. 

We will ...

Play harder

Run faster

Out work any team we face.  We will also have a good time doing it.  Have fun.

This week at practice we will focus on INTENSITY ball.  See you on Tuesday

Team Intensity battles Mother Nature!!!

And loses! TI traveled to "Sunny" Southern Cal to show our skills and got rained out, but true to TI form the parents banded together to make the trip an awesome experiene for the girls. Instead of conquering softball TI conquered Knott's Berry Farm. We battled wind and rain and scary rides to come out as a tighter team. Awards for the trip to the Knott's go to "Moose" and "Princess Dynamite" for the "Steel Nerve" award for going on everyride. "Snoopy" and "Ollie Pop" get the "Iron Gut" award for dominating the spinning rides. "Skittles" destroyed the carnival games beating highschool aged baseball players to win prizes. "Rock Star" won the "Big Baby to Tough Guy" award for being afraid of every ride to overcoming her fear to going on many scary rides with her hands up. The" big wreck"award goes to  "Bubblegum" on the bumper cars and "tough stuff" award goes to "Hollywood" for battling illness to brave the rides. Special thanks goes out to "Big Grill" Gabe for manning the fire pit to help feed a hungry crew and "Heavy Hauler" Nanci for moving gear and beef over the road also "Flying J" and family for the beverage supply.  We had an awesome time and made the most of a downer situation, but thats what TI is about, getting all out of what we got.

AND MOST OF ALL WHEREVER TEAM INTENSITY GOES NO ONE IS EVER THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!  TEAM INTENSITY HAS MADE THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 3 TIMES IN A ROW. 

 After 2 rain delays Team Intensity showed no rust in going 5 and 1 in the Holiday Tourney this weekend.  This was a 15 team tourney the biggest of the year.  We cannot list all the girls that did a great job because you would see our entire roster.  The first 4 games our opponents felt the Intensity power, in which, we won by a margin of 8 runs per game.  Of course no tourney would be complete without us facing the big Shockwave team who have won 5 12B tourneys this year.  The lead was swapped in every inning except the one that counted the most.  Team Intensity earned an 8-6 victory.  We faced a very competetive Casa Grand Heat that were 5-0 coming into the Championship also.  The score was 1-1 after 3 innings but in the end the Heat prevailed.  This tourney concludes the beginning part of the season for Team Intensity.  We have big plans ahead that are only limited by our heart and desire.   

On a personal team note,  we are EXTREMELY happy to add to the Team Intensity Nation Oliviah and her family.
