The cost to participate is $65 per person and advance registration is highly preferred.

Galindo is a member of the USA Softball Women’s National Team and seven year veteran of the National Pro Fastpitch League for the Chicago Bandits (NPF).

A 2005 graduate and All-American at the University of California Berkeley, Vicky helped lead the Cal Bears to three Women’s College World Series appearances.
