Welcome to the Rogers Otsego Softball Association!
Participate in the recreation and travel fastpitch softball for youth in the Rogers/Otsego area.


SEASON UPDATE 
as of 3/31/2020
Given recent announcements from the State of Minnesota and ISD #728 regarding COVID-19, Rogers Otsego Softball Association has suspended all activities until further notice.  

We will continue to monitor the situation and will reassess toward the end of the month. 

MINNESOTA SOFTBALL COVID-19 (MARCH 20 UPDATE)

Minnesota Softball's main priority is to ensure the safety of our athletes, coaches, umpires, and fans as we continue to monitor all relevant information on the COVID-19 virus.

Our reality is many of our fields and facilities are controlled by cities and schools. When they block the use of the facilities, that answers many questions for us and we will be able to make better more informed decisions. 

We are hopeful we all can get through this and get kids back on the fields enjoying our great sport.

Thank you for your continued passion and patience. Updates will be posted on our website (https://www.mnsoftball.com) as soon as we get them.

Please stay safe.

If you are interested in coaching for ROSA fastpitch this summer now is the time to sign up. Whether you have many years of previous coaching or this would be your first time, we are here to help you as a parent coach volunteer.
Over the last 3 years we have been very fortunate to find parents excited to coach and will need the same support in 2020.

This year we will again be offering Coach Training Sessions that will help set coaching expectations and provide training and contacts for any of our newer coaches. These sessions can help prepare you to coach and give those considering coaching a place to ask questions.

This program offers our players access to open hitting stations three nights a week.  The hitting stations are self led and and range from bunting, pitching machines and several batting tee stations.  A representative from ROSA will be present at each session and will be more than happy to help you learn new station drills along the way.
