Paladin Softball Club is bringing year-round softball excitement to girls in the San Tan Valley and surrounding areas. With programs tailored to different skill levels and commitments, Paladin Softball Club ensures that every aspiring athlete has a place to grow and compete.

Select Softball Program

Paladin's Select Softball program is perfect for girls looking for more competitive play than recreational leagues but who are not yet ready for the full commitment of club softball. The program is divided into two seasons:

• Season 1: August to October (RSVP for our 2024-25 Select Softball evaluations on May 28. The 2024-25 Season 1 Select teams will be formed from these initial assessments.)
• Season 2: January to March

Teams in the Select Softball program participate in local league play and a midseason tournament. Experienced coaches guide the teams, focusing on the foundational aspects of technical and tactical softball. Beyond sports, the program incorporates faith-based values, with coaches sharing the message of Jesus through small group sessions and prayers before practices and games. The Select Softball program welcomes girls from East Mesa, Apache Junction, San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and surrounding areas.

Club Softball Program

For those ready to take their skills to the next level, the Paladin Softball Club offers a competitive, team-oriented program designed to enhance both individual and team abilities. The Club Softball program runs from August to May, with tryouts held every June or July.

Club teams compete in local, regional, and national tournaments and are registered with major softball organizations such as Alliance, AFA, PGF, TC, and USA Softball. The program emphasizes the Paladin Club Motto of Faith, Family, Fun, and Fight, promoting a positive and supportive environment within the sport.

Even with the competitive nature of club softball, Paladin Softball Club maintains a Christian-based approach, ensuring that integrity, sportsmanship, respect, and kindness are upheld on and off the field. Prayer and outreach to opposing teams are key components of the program.
