Parent / Player Information
2025 Western Nebraska Fury
Thank you for your interest in the Fury.
We are recruiting players with competitive spirit, and those that want to be part of a team that is bigger than any one individual.
Please complete the form below, and a coach will be in contact.
We will hold ourselves to a higher standard, and will aim to be model citizens and athletes.
Costs / Fundraising
Below is more information and what team finances will likely be for the upcoming season.
We aim to fundraise as much as possible and limit the amount families are responsible for. That does mean volunteering your time to help with the two tournaments we host.
- Player Fee – $250
- This will cover uniforms, mostly, as we will have two full sets.
- Team Budget – $6000-$9000
- This is dependent on tournament registration fees, equipment needs, etc.
- This is not representative of actual travel costs.
- Our goal is to fundraise as much as possible through hosting two tournaments in Gering, one in October (Boo Bash), and one in May (Oregon Trail Invite).
- Additionally we will (with player families help) pursue area sponsorships to handle any additional costs not covered by hosted tournament proceeds.
- Parents / Families will be asked to volunteer during our home tournaments, to help with field maintenance and concessions.
Schedule Information
- Practices will begin on or about September 20, 2024.
- Practices will be held on Saturday evenings (Time TBD) at the Field of Dreams (indoor) in Scottsbluff, or outdoors at Oregon Trail Park, weather permitting, up til our October tournament on Oct 19-20.
- Additional Fall practices will be held during the week as possible up until our Fall tournament on October 19-20.
- 2025 Season practices will start in mid-January, on Saturdays at the field of dreams. Beginning in March we will move to Tuesday / Thursday practices for the entire team, and pitchers and catchers on Wednesdays.
- November / December practices will be sparse, letting athletes focus on other sports and/or spend time with families.
- Regular practices will begin again after the first of the Calendar year, Saturday evenings at the field of dreams, and outdoors when weather permits, beginning in March. Normal Practice days will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, with pitchers and catchers on Wednesdays.
Our 2025 Tournament Season will begin in late April. We anticipate playing in 6-9 tournaments, with two of those being local.
We will have Memorial Day and 4th of July weekends off, along with 1-2 other weekends spread across the spring and summer. Our schedule will be finalized as tournament dates are published, but should be completed by the end of June, or 2nd weekend in July.
