Summer Individual College Showcase

FPN's 13th Annual Summer Individual College Showcase Thursday, July 18, 2024 at Fastpitch Nation Park in Windsor, CT. 

Registration is now temporarily offline while we replace our online event registration system. Check back later.

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/Outfielder). Plus all players will participate in a Q&A direct with the coaches at the conclusion of the event.
  • NEW National Scouting Report is partnering with us to record a slew of new metrics along with the metrics the college coaches already record and they will provide FREE access to all the data on their app. See Below. 
  • This event is open ONLY to players from incoming high school freshmen to seniors only.
Event Director is Dawn Stearns, Head Coach, University of Bridgeport.
  • College Coaches Click Here to E-Mail to Sign up to Attend or request Livestream access.
