📣 Coaches & Players — Get Your Fall Schedules Out!

Make sure you’re sending your fall schedules to college coaches so they know which events and locations you’ll be attending this season.

Even if exact game schedules and times haven’t been released yet, sharing your tournament dates and locations gives college coaches the opportunity to plan ahead and know where they can potentially see you compete.

Be proactive. Stay visible. Create opportunities.

Move over, COVID-era eligibility… there’s a new eligibility shake-up.

A Colorado federal court has temporarily ruled that Division I athletes from the Class of 2022 who used up their eligibility this past season can return and play in 2026–27.

What does this mean?
• Former players could return to their teams.
• Coaches must still stay under the 25-player roster limit.
• Fewer roster spots may be available for incoming recruits over the next few years.

If this ruling stands, it could have a major impact on recruiting and roster management across Division I softball!!!!

Thank You, Umpires! The temperatures were high, the days were long, and the schedule was demanding, but you showed up every game and battled through the heat right alongside our players, coaches, and families.

From everyone at Prep Fastpitch Tournaments, thank you for your commitment to the game of softball. We couldn’t do it without you!
