Triple Crown & Extra Inning Softball Bring TPR to Sunshine Classic

Extra Inning Softball is excited to announce its partnership with Triple Crown Sports to bring free Tournament Performance Rankings (TPR) to the 2027 Sunshine Classic in St. Petersburg, Florida, February 12th-15th.

This exciting collaboration will provide participating athletes with an opportunity to gain national recognition through Extra Inning Softball’s Tournament Performance Rankings program, designed to spotlight standout performances and increase athlete visibility beyond the tournament field.

With approximately 120 teams expected to compete across the 10U–18U divisions, the Sunshine Classic hosted by Katrina Magaro with Triple Crown Fastpitch, promises competitive softball, valuable player development opportunities, and an exciting atmosphere for athletes and families.

The EIS team will also be attending the February event, connecting with athletes, coaches, and families while supporting tournament coverage and sharing opportunities for national recognition.

Premier Spring Softball Experience

Hosted by Triple Crown Sports, the Sunshine Classic offers a unique combination of competitive tournament play, team development, and family-friendly activities in Florida’s St. Pete–Clearwater area.

The tournament has continued to grow since its 2025 event, which featured 10U, 12U, and 14U divisions. In 2026, the event expanded to accommodate athletes across the 10U–18U age divisions, creating additional opportunities for teams nationwide.

The 2027 Sunshine Classic will continue this tradition while taking place alongside the Division I NFCA Leadoff Classic, giving young athletes the opportunity to experience high-level collegiate softball during their tournament trip.

Spectator admission is free at most complexes, while Sprowls Horizon has a $10 gate fee and does not permit metal cleats. For registration and additional tournament information, visit the official Triple Crown Sunshine Classic registration page.

For coaches, the event provides an early-season opportunity to evaluate rosters, experiment with lineup combinations, and identify areas for improvement before the demanding spring and summer tournament schedules begin.

 Building Memories

Beyond the competition, the Sunshine Classic offers an atmosphere designed to bring teams and families together. A player party and pin-trading activities are planned for February 12, with additional details to be announced.

The tournament’s proximity to the Division I NFCA Leadoff Classic provides another exciting opportunity for young athletes to watch collegiate softball and see firsthand the level of competition they may aspire to reach.

Whether teams are evaluating their early-season progress, strengthening team chemistry, or enjoying time together in Florida, the Sunshine Classic offers an experience that extends beyond the scoreboard.
