Summer Individual College Showcase

FPN's 14th Annual Summer Individual College Showcase Thursday, July 17, 2025 at Fastpitch Nation Park in Windsor, CT. 

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 metrics measured (see below for those details)

  • 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.
Event Director is Dawn Stearns, Head Coach, University of Bridgeport.
