The Eagles Select Softball Program has made a strong commitment to the young softball players in Zionsville. In conjunction with the Zionsville Little League, the Eagles Select program provides a competitive and development focused environment to grow the young ladies in our program as young people and softball players through these core principles.
The Eagles Select Program offers great developmental opportunities for the young ladies in the program through professional instruction, structured and targeted training, increased competitive opportunities and a dedicated indoor training facility.
Beginning at 8U, players will be placed onto teams based on both subjective and objective evaluation data in order to field the most competitive-appropriate teams.
Eagles Select Green – will field our most competitive team, playing in the most competitive tournaments/doubleheaders and involve the highest commitment level.
Eagles Select Silver – will field our next most competitive team, playing in competitive-appropriate tournaments/doubleheaders.
Eagles Select White – will field a fully developmentally focused program to help the young ladies grow and will feature doubleheaders
