ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The Virgin Islands Softball Association’s Hariette Skelton Fast Pitch League is on All Star Weekend break, with a whole slew of action planned for Father’s Day, Sunday June 19, 2017, at the E. Walwyn Brewley Park in Road Town.

The Inter-Primary Championship Rematch (Tortola Division) will start off the day's activities on Sunday and will be followed by the Women and Men's Home-Run Derby.

To register for the Home-Run Derby, persons must pay a $5 entry fee and submit their names to the Press Box. Players will be allowed 2 practice swings and will have 5 attempts to hit a home-run. The persons with the most home-runs will be rewarded with a prize.

After the Men and Women's Home-Run Derby, there will be an All-Star Industrial League game followed by a Father's Day Special: Daddy and Me Softball Game. The Daddy and Me game will consist of past and present softball fathers playing against their male or female child/children. We are encouraging fathers to bring their child or children to bring your father or a person you consider a father figure to compete in this game.
