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:

Recruiting isn’t just about getting noticed — it’s about learning how to manage everything that comes with the process. 🥎
For Day 2 of Recruit Week presented by @sports_recruits, Coach Penny Roberts from the Empire State Huskies shares why one of the first things she teaches athletes is time management. Between school, homework, training, the weight room, travel, and recruiting responsibilities, learning how to manage your time early can make a huge difference — not only during the recruiting process, but once you get to campus.
That’s why the recruiting process is best approached as a roadmap, not a race.
Swipe through for a year-by-year look at what athletes can focus on during:
➡️ Freshman year
➡️ Sophomore year
➡️ Junior year

Recruit Week presented by @sports_recruits starts with a look at what’s changing in college softball recruiting — and what it could mean for today’s athletes. 🥎
Coaches and recruiting experts weigh in on the portal and recent NCAA eligibility changes, including the new age-based eligibility model often referred to as “5 for 5,” and how those changes could impact roster decisions and high school recruits moving forward. The NCAA notes that “5 for 5” is not technically an accurate name for the rule; eligibility is now tied to a continuous five-year period based on age and initial full-time college enrollment.

Coaches have always been able to see who is talented. Reading who holds up under pressure was a guess.
Reagan Rohrlich took the Clutch Factor™ assessment at the 2026 Alliance Fastpitch All-Star Game. It scores how an athlete processes, decides and executes when the moment tightens, and it puts a number on the thing coaches used to read off a hunch. High school athletes above 750 are roughly 2x more likely to commit to Division I.
Reagan is headed to Texas A&M.
Hear it from her.
Testing is live with your Alliance registration, and your score and full report are free. Watch your inbox for your results. Score 750 or better and you can claim a highlight video like this one.
Clutch isn’t a feeling. It’s a score.

If your phone doesn`t ring today, don`t let that shake your confidence.
Alliance PAC member Lauren White shares advice for every Class of 2028 athlete navigating the recruiting process.
🥎 Lauren`s reminders:
• Don`t compare your journey to someone else`s.
• Keep reaching out to college coaches.
• Continue sending emails, texts and highlight videos.
• Show up and work hard every day.
