Region Honors Matter

Being named to a Region First or Second Team can boost a player’s visibility for elite club opportunities. For example, events like the Alliance Fastpitch All-Star Game feature top regional club talent from across the country.

​The USA Softball High Performance Program offers regional identifiers across the country, providing athletes with opportunities to showcase their skills and advance toward national team selection.
