2027 Summer Ball Tryouts Are Here!

As we wrap up the first year of the Lady A’s, we're already looking ahead and preparing for an even better 2027 Summer Ball season!

Join us for our Open Tryout on Tuesday, August 4th and Thursday, August 6th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at Smith Fields.

Our mission is to help every athlete develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to compete at the next level. While improving each player's softball abilities is our priority, we are equally committed to teaching the life lessons this game provides—leadership, resilience, accountability, and teamwork.

Train under the guidance of former Division I athlete Evette Morgan and respected/successful Flathead Valley softball Coach Brittany Burnham, who are passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential both on and off the field.

Come experience the game through a new lens, challenge yourself, and discover what it means to be part of our program.

We can't wait to see you at tryouts!

FALL SOFTBALL:
We’re thrilled to extend our Fall Ball program to the softball community again this fall!

Join Coach E, a former Division I softball player, for a dynamic 10-week training experience designed to help athletes elevate their game. Players will focus on enhancing fundamentals, fine-tuning skills, and boosting softball IQ—all in preparation for a strong spring/summer season.

As part of our Fall Softball program, there will be a potential opportunity to compete in both in state and possibly out of state tournaments depending on program participants. The age group(s) we take will be dependent upon the commitment level of parents. If selected, your athlete will be subject to additional fees and travel expenses. The entry fee will be between $200-$400 per athlete per tournament.

If your athlete has made the team, they will be expected to join Fall Ball and attend at least one session out of the three each week. We understand fall sports are in full effect and we want to make the sport that is in season their priority; therefore, we are willing to work with our multi-sport athletes!
