OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The High Performance Program (HPP) National Selection Event presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods is an invite-only opportunity for athletes who have advanced through various HPP Identifiers over the last year.
Known as “The Pipeline to the Women’s National Team,” the HPP identifies a pool of athletes to train, compete and represent USA Softball through domestic and international competition.
The program focuses on providing an equal opportunity for players to show their talent while growing the game of softball in the United States and remaining inclusive to all that wish to participate and develop their skills.
Top players from across the nation showcased their skills from Nov. 30 to Dec. 8, 2023, at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Fla. for a chance to be selected to age-specific U.S. Junior Women’s National Team rosters based on scheduled events for the 2024 season.
The athletes went through a series of on-field evaluations and scrimmages in front of the U.S. Junior Women’s National Team Selection Committee and HPP evaluators (names listed below) including U.S. Olympians and professional softball athletes —
