Want to get to Team USA? This is where it all starts! Do you know an Ohio or WV softball player? Tell them to SAVE THE DATE - August 29th. More registration details to come!
Visit https://www.teamusa.org/usa.../high-performance-program for more information on this amazing opportunity!
What is the High Performance Program process?
USA Softball is divided into ten regions. Each region will offer competition for the HPP pools of athletes in each eligible age group. This will provide a higher level of playing experience for all participants from the regional level. Athletes that standout as the most elite will then advance for possible national team trial, pool, or team participation. Contact your USA Softball local area program coordinator for more information.
High Performance Program Age Classifications
The HPP age classifications are based on the age guidelines for the WBSC competition schedule. Age groups are defined by birth year and an athlete must be the age group age throughout the entire year. For example, if an athlete is trying out for the 2021 14u region team, the athlete must not turn 15 until 2022. The age of the athlete on Dec 31 determines their age group for the following year. An athlete may try out for their age group team but be asked to move up in age group.
2021 Age groups that will participate in the program:
U-13 – Local Area Pool, Regional Pool (born 2008 or after)
U-14 – Local Area Pool, Regional Pool and National Team (depending on available WBSC qualifier) (born 2007 or after)
U-15 – Local Area Pool, Regional Pool and National Team (depending on available WBSC World Cup) (born 2006 or after)
U-16 – Local Area Pool and Regional Pool (born 2005 or after)
U-17 – Local Area Pool, Regional Pool and National Team (depending on available WBSC qualifier) (born 2004 or after)
U-18 – Local Area Pool, Regional Pool and National Team (depending on available WBSC World Cup) (born 2003 or after)
