Official pagePacking notes
- Bring chairs, a pop-up canopy, sunscreen and water; the West River sun is strong and the wind picks up, so stake your canopy down. Surfaces aren't confirmed, so ask your tournament director about footwear.
- The softball diamonds are lighted, so night games are possible, and Black Hills evenings cool off fast; pack a warm layer (Wyss Associates).
- There's open space west of the complex and room beyond many outfield fences for warm-ups, and concessions and playgrounds sit in the center of the fields (Rapid City Sliders; Wyss Associates).
