After a very successful launch of our club rankings with the Extra Inning Softball Elite 100 for the Class of 2022, the next round of Elite 100 Rankings will begin one week from today–May 7th and run for nearly three weeks (see schedule below).
We’re excited to honor the seniors, many of whom have finished–or soon will finish–their high school seasons and then turn their attention to their last go-round of club play.
And following the Elite 100 we’ll produce our Elite 50 Club List for the 18U rankings as we head into the summer run for Nationals.

It will also provide a nice lead-in to other key senior-dominated events including the ESPN All-American Game and the Louisville Slugger Hit Club, both tied into the PGF Nationals in late July/early August.
Our rankings list is the deepest and most extensive covering the club/youth levels and is overseen by Brentt Eads, our Executive Editor, who is recognized as the leader of player and team rankings in this space.
We won’t just be listing the Elite 100 who are honored however… we will do a rankings list that goes 500 deep as we do the final version featuring these athlete who will be headed to college in just a few months!
