Not too long ago Camrose Alberta was widely known as the heartland of Canadian Fastball, having full minor fastball programs with midget, Junior, and Senior A teams hosting many high quality tournaments yearly. This has unfortunately been at a steady decline over the past 10 years to the point where there was no fastball at any level only two years ago. The 2004 Fury Fastball Club is trying to restore some of the lost interest for the great game of fastball.

The club is made up of young men from Central and Northern Alberta, most of whom grew up in the Camrose minor fastball program and have played Junior and/or Senior A fastball in Camrose with great success representing Alberta and Camrose in a countless number of Canadian National Championships. Many of the players taking home medals in ‘97 Clarenville Nfl silver, ‘98 Grande Prairie AB bronze, ‘99 Kitchener Ont silver, and ‘01 Grande Prairie AB bronze.

In the effort of bringing high caliber fastball back to Camrose and its beautiful facilities, the Fury will be hosting and participating in two very competitive tournaments at Kin Park (Camrose) this summer. On July 3 & 4 the ISC (International Softball Congress) qualifying Tournament, with Teams from Alberta and Saskatchewan, and July 16-18 the Alberta Senior B, Intermediate B & C mens Provincial Championships, which may include upwards of 20 teams from all over Alberta. The winner of the ISC tournament would qualify for the ISC World Fastball Championships in Fargo North Dakota. The winner of the Provincial Championship would qualify for the Western Canadian Championships in Richmond BC.
