2025-2026 CATALYST SOFTBALL TRYOUTS
Catalyst Softball Academy is excited to announce our 2025–2026 Club Tryouts!
Our mission is simple but powerful: to build a competitive, empowering, and athlete-first softball environment where players not only grow as athletes - but as confident, resilient young women. Over the years, Catalyst has grown into one of the premier softball programs in the Midwest. Our relentless focus on elite player development, personalized instruction, and positive culture sets us apart.
As we continue to grow, we are proud to offer a proven, year-round system that prioritizes long-term development, competitive excellence, and personal growth for every player in our program. Our Catalyst Softball Club/Travel Program will be fielding a maximum of 10 teams for the 2025–26 season, across the following age levels: 12U, 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and 18U. Our teams will compete at the highest levels locally, regionally, and nationally, depending on skill, age group, and team goals. Our coaching staff includes a blend of long-time veteran coaches with decades of experience, former collegiate softball athletes, and current collegiate & professional softball players and trainers. Catalyst is proud to be a female-led, Division I alumna-founded organization, with a full-time leadership team dedicated to excellence on and off the field. Whether you’re ready to take the next step or just starting your travel softball journey, Catalyst Softball offers an unmatched opportunity for driven, coachable athletes to grow in a supportive, high-performance environment.
