EXCELLENT NEW SITE FOR FAST PITCH INFORMATION

All of the current information and stats about Winneconne can be found by clicking on the link below. We now belong to the Eastern Valley Conference and I keep everything updated and current on that page.

This is the message sent out from Bob Tomlinson, Head Coach of Poynette Softball and teh Founder of the Fast pitch Chronicle. 

Hello Everyone – Today marks a new path for The Fastpitch Chronicle and the way we cover fastpitch in Wisconsin. After hashing things out with the Wisconsin Sports Network, I chose to enter into an agreement therein whereby The Fastpitch Chronicle will really “Fuel the Wisconsin Sports Network Softball website or Power the Wisconsin Sports Network Softball website”. That means that I will be the content provider for the newsy stuff on the site. I’ll be doing the same kind of things I have been doing for eight years with the Fastpitch Chronicle. I’ll even be doing more things to generate more interest in the game and the people in it. Look for more feature stories on coaches, fans, players, etc.

The website was launched late this afternoon. You can see the site by going to www.wissports.net and read the press release and then browse around on the site. I’ll be adding more and more content daily.

As for game scores once the season starts, things will remain the way they have been. If you want people to read the same kinds of reports that you have provided throughout the years here at the Fastpitch Chronicle, just keep doing what you have been doing. The only change will be that the information will be hosted by The Wisconsin Sports Network. WSN has people who will try to glean scores from statewide sources but you could help them out by simply e-mailing the score of your game to info@wissports.net and they’ll do the rest.

If you’d like to keep your team stats online, the WSN offers you that free of charge just like they do for football and basketball. They will also be adding baseball and a running website too.  

The pages will be organized according to teams and by conferences. The stuff you are accustomed to on The Fastpitch Chronicle site will still be there. Things like the Coaches Honor Roll, Scores by week and then broken down by the day.
I’ll be posting links to articles about fastpitch in Wisconsin newspapers so I’ll still need the great contributors that have been onboard previously to e-mail me the links to those articles as I will not be posting the article itself.

The Fastpitch Bulletins, originally called Nightly Bulletins will continue as interest in those is amazing. The same types of issues, stories, rules, scoring information and stuff will be included. The only difference is that you’ll get a bulletin in your inbox from me with a link to the article on the WSN site. All you’ll have to do is click on the link and you’ll be taken right to the latest bulletin and like on the Fastpitch Chronicle site, all the previous bulletins will be there in chronological order.

I encourage you to tell your fastpitch friends, the players on your team, the parents of the players on your team and all the fans of your team about the site and how to get there. Or have them e-mail me their e-mail address and I’ll add their names to the ever-growing list of people who get the bulletins.

The WSN site has direct links to the Fastpitch Chronicle and we’ve added a direct link to the Wisconsin Fastpitch Coaches Association site at http://www.wfsca.org as well. That should get the WFSCA site more traffic than ever.
