It won't be long before Airdrie's ball diamonds are packed as the local Fastball League begins soon.

The season for the Airdrie Ladies Fastball League starts the first week of May and Vice President Christy Kajmowich says they're looking for more players to fill their teams.

"Most of them (players) are Mothers and have many children, it's always nice to carry more than 10 or 11 players. Always looking for players and some teams are quite struggling right now."

Kajmowich says there is one change the league is hoping to push during the season.

"All the leagues that play at Chinook Winds are part of a separate committee that's raising money to build more diamonds in Airdrie."

The Fastball League will hold a fundraising tournament for this purpose on June 17th.
