Alliance Fastpitch recognizes top Clubs, Leagues, and Partners from 2025 Season

Las Vegas, NV – The Alliance Fastpitch celebrated the 2025 Season with our annual Awards Social hosted by the Pacific Coast Fastpitch League and presented by BSN. This annual awards ceremony and social started three years ago as a way to celebrate the success of our clubs, leagues, and partners while also bringing everyone together for a night of celebration in front of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) annual convention.

The Alliance Awards and Social took place in Las Vegas, NV on December 9th in front of the NFCA Convention.

Club Awards presented by GoRout:

Club Awards are based on AFCS Final Results in the 12u, 14u, 16u, and 18u age divisions. These awards celebrate the cumulative efforts of an entire organization based on their highest AFCS finish in each age division. Each year we recognize the top 3 Clubs based on their AFCS finish, as well as the Rising Club which is awarded to the Club who made the most significant jump in Club Standings from the previous year. The Legacy Club is awarded to the Club with the top cumulative finish from the previous three seasons recongizing their consistency in finishing atop the AFCS standings in three consecutive years. *The Legacy Club results were based on 14u, 16u, and 18u AFCS finishes only (since 12u was only added to calculations in 2025).
