Fastpitch Nation's 17th Annual Winter Individual College Showcase, Jan. 17, 2026, at the University of Bridgeport
This event allows softball players an opportunity to display their talents and work directly with college coaches from around the Northeast. EVEN BETTER! COLLEGE COACHES will run this event and work directly with the players through various stations and drills while also evaluating their skills. Yes players will actually work with the college coaches! Coaches will also talk with the players directly about what it really takes to play college softball. This hybrid format has proven far more effective and rewarding than the format in which coaches simply watch from a distance only.
- Cost is $195 for a single session or $225 for both sessions.
- Session 1: Pitcher or Catcher
- Session 2: Infielder or Outfielder.
- All players will also hit and have their exit velocity measured.
- All players and parents will participate in separate Q&A sessions with the college coaches.
- This event is open ONLY to players from incoming high school freshmen to incoming seniors.
- There is a MAX of 90 players so register early.
This was the 2025 On-field staff. Typically, the majority of these coaches are on staff each year. Once the 2026 staff is announced, it will be posted.
