Last verified 2026-10-17
Field surface: not yet verified
Not yet verified. A SoftballTourneys listing for the TCS Clovis Christmas Toy Drive (Dec 5–6, 2026), copied from Alliance Fastpitch, says all games are played on turf fields. We couldn't confirm that on an organizer or Clovis Unified page, and no source we found says whether that means turf infields or full turf. (8 fields in a clover layout, including a stadium field with sunk-in dugouts and bullpens next to the dugouts (Superior Showcase Softball). Clovis Unified's rec department lists Fields 1–8.)
Cleats: NSA allows metal cleats only for 14U–18U, and not when turf fields are used (NSA Southwest Nationals packet). Check your event's rules.
