VFA will once again host offseason training for players who wish to develop and improve their skills ahead of the Spring 2027 season. We are excited to offer this opportunity to receive small-group training from professional coaches and current and former high-level softball players to all of our athletes. Training will be offered in two multi-week sessions: Fall (October – December 2026) and Winter (January – March 2027). Although players are welcome to sign up for only one session or the other, the Winter session will build on skills developed in the Fall session and Fall session registrants will receive preferred access to register for the Winter session. VFA will offer: Skills Clinics, focusing on developing fundamental softball skills for U9, U11, U13C, U15C, U17C, and U20C players. Players will receive technical instruction in hitting, throwing, and fielding mechanics to improve consistency, enhance performance, and support long-term development. Training will incorporate game play scenarios, giving players an understanding of how to apply their skills in real game situations. U9 skills clinics will also include introductory pitching instruction for all participants. Players should bring whatever equipment they have (e.g. glove, helmet, bat, batting gloves) to skills clinics. Pitching Clinics, providing age and level appropriate pitching instruction to U9 through U19/U20 (B and C) players. All pitchers MUST bring someone to catch for them (parent, sibling, friend, teammate, etc.). Pitchers and their catchers must bring their own gloves. Catching Clinic, all-ages catching instruction for U9, U11, U13C, U15C, U17C, and U20C players. Catchers must bring their own gloves. Catching gear will be provided to registrants if they don’t have their own. Look out for Fall Clinic Registration to open soon!
