Youth Softball Leagues & Tournaments
Welcome to the Alliance Fastpitch, where collaboration and celebrating the athlete are at the heart of our story. Launched in 2020, the Alliance sparked a movement of competitors working together off the field to grow the game across the country. The vision for leveling the playing field and creating structured pathways led to the formation of a national organization - Alliance Fastpitch.
Together, we are reshaping amateur softball into one National league system with a unified structure and mission, centered around three pillars:
Competition
The Alliance Fastpitch offers a defined pathway to play on the field. Nine regional leagues comprise all 50 states, where schedules consist of existing softball tournaments from that region. Teams earn points, stats and National berths from these tournaments. Postseason competition includes League, Regional and National Championships.
Recognition
Did we mention the athlete is at the center of everything we do? We provide numerous opportunities to recognize the performance of our athletes, help them build playing resumes & recruiting profiles, and gain regional and national exposure along the way.
Community
We were founded on the premise of bringing the broken system of travel softball together. Our community of coaches, players, parents and fans are here to honor the game, and continue moving the sport forward. We believe everyone should have access to resources to further their development.
The Alliance Fastpitch Membership
Joining the Alliance is about more than just tournament play. We offer athlete, coach and team memberships that feature benefits both on and off the field, including:

🥎 There’s no one “right” recruiting timeline. 1️⃣ message stands out: be patient, stay intentional, and trust your process.
Expand your options. Consider what’s realistic academically, athletically, geographically, and financially. And most importantly, don’t measure your journey against someone else’s.
As Richele Hall reminds athletes: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
Recruiting can feel overwhelming, but Alliance athletes and coaches don’t have to navigate it alone. The Alliance is committed to supporting members beyond competition — through recruiting education, exposure opportunities, guidance from coaches and industry experts, and access to tools and resources from our exclusive recruiting partner, @sports_recruits.
The goal isn’t to follow someone else’s path. It’s to find the opportunity that’s right for you.
Trust the process.

As we wrap up Recruit Week presented by @sports_recruits, take a few minutes to make sure your profile is ready:
✅ Review your athlete information
✅ Add recruiting video
✅ Build a target list of schools
✅ Start communicating with college coaches
A complete, updated profile helps college coaches find the information they need faster — and gives you a stronger foundation as you move through the recruiting process.
📌 Save this checklist and come back to it throughout the season.

2027s: don’t let “D1 or bust” limit your options. 👀
Recruiting is about finding the right fit, not chasing one label. Keep an open mind. Explore multiple divisions. Include JUCOs. Be realistic about where you can thrive.

Recruiting is a family conversation, too. 🥎
For Recruit Week presented by @sports_recruits, Jazz Jackson Vesely shares why she brings parents into the process early — from talking through school options and cost, to comparing what the athlete wants with what the family is thinking.
One tool she uses? Separate recruiting questionnaires for parents and athletes, then revisiting them each year to see how goals, priorities, and expectations have changed.
The earlier those conversations happen, the easier it is to make sure everyone is working toward the same goal.

Getting recruited is one thing. Finding the right fit is another. 👀🥎 For Recruit Week presented by @sports_recruits, coaches and recruiting experts break down what athletes should really consider when building their college list.
It goes beyond the softball program. Think about the full picture:
⭐ Athletic fit
📚 Academic fit
💰 Financial fit
📍 Geographical fit
🤝 Social fit
One college coach put it simply: Is the school your fit? Are the coaches your fit? Is the team your fit?
And you don’t have to navigate the recruiting process alone. Alliance members have access to recruiting support throughout their journey — including free SportsRecruits profiles for athletes 13+, recruiting education and resources inside the Alliance Academy, player profiles that connect directly to SportsRecruits, exposure opportunities at Alliance events and camps, and technology like EventBeacon that helps college coaches access athlete information at national events.
The goal isn’t just to get recruited. It’s to find the place where you can thrive on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.
