CFF Offering Funding for Pitching Clinics

Blair Setford • December 16, 2021

Funding Available for Pitching Clinics from CFF

Heading into 2022 the ISC’s Carrol Forbes Foundation (CFF) is committed to co-sponsoring pitching clinics and helping to fund youth development programs to invest in the future of our great sport of fastball. 


Greg Nydick, chair of the ISC’s CFF committee, says event directors should contact him for more information through the Forbes Foundation page on the ISC website using the new application form.


The CFF was established in 1995 in memory of ISC Founder Carrol Forbes with the purpose of funding youth development programs to invest in the game’s future. To date, the CFF has approved over $14,000 on youth development. 


High school seniors and post-secondary school students can also apply to the CFF for scholarships.


The CFF looks forward to helping people already doing great work to grow the game of fastball.

2026 ISC Canada East Qualifier in Mitchell

By Blair Setford • November 16, 2025
ISC Canada East is pleased to announce that our 2026 Qualifier will be coming back to Keterson Park in Mitchell, ON on the traditional Father’s Day weekend of June 19-21. Format will be the same as established in 2025, with a Premier Division featuring Hill United Chiefs, Bear Creek Express, NorthEast Drillers, Bear Creek Gremlins, JDT First Energy and Toronto Batmen – all of whom finished in the Elite 8 at last year’s ISC World Tournament. The ISC Division is expected to host 12 teams. Paid berths plus travel money will be payable to the winners of each division. We will also be hosting a 4-team Legends event. Entry fees will be finalized early in 2026. Softball Premier will be on hand once again to provide coverage of what undoubtedly will be one of the top events on the tournament circuit. We want to acknowledge the cooperation of both Bear Creek Sports & Entertainment and Hill United Chiefs in scheduling three top notch events in a tripleheader through June 2026 as we all build toward the 80th Annual ISC World Tournament at JDT First Energy Veterans Memorial Fields in Melbourne, ON in August. We strongly encourage teams to confirm their intent to enter the Qualifier as soon as possible as space will be limited. In addition, we recommend teams look to secure hotel rooms or rental property space early. For additional information, please reach out to Blair, Joe, Scott or AJ.
