About

ABOUT THE MN MOOSE CLUB FASTPITCH PROGRAM

The MN Moose, based in Blaine, MN is a club softball program partnered with Complete Game Training Center to create the ultimate club team for those looking to take their game to the highest level! The MN Moose is a committed and competitive fastpitch club who compete with the top players locally and nationally. The training and development of these players along with a very competitive game schedule are the highest priorities of this program.

The MN Moose has partnered with Complete Game for their off season training since the first Moose team was formed in 2005. The partnership has grown throughout the years and now the Moose use both facilities (CG1 and CG2) for all their indoor practice and training needs. Many of our Moose staff work as CG instructors and many of our players call CG their second home! The Moose and Complete Game want to put the best coaches and instructors in front of every Moose player so they have the tools they need to develop their game. You will find no better training staff around for player development. No matter what age or level you play at, the Moose and Complete Game want to make you better and reach your full potential as a player!
