@AveryModlin2027 @RebellionColl Congratulations!!

Last regular season game of the season and I hit a big milestone in my high school pitching career with 500 K’s. Couldn’t have done it without my Haga girl behind the dish. I also went 4-4 at the plate with 3 doubles. Big win to end the regular season! @RebellionColl @AthleticsEnloe

🥎 From local fields… to national opportunities. Everything we’ve built connects to something bigger. The Elite Pathway is where top athletes move forward through USA Softball’s national system—opening the door to high-level development and exposure. 🚀 What does that look like? 👉 High Performance Program (HPP) A national identification pipeline that evaluates and selects athletes for advanced training and development opportunities. 👉 All American Games A premier experience bringing together top athletes from across the country for elite competition, instruction, and national exposure. ⭐ What’s next? Top performers can advance to: ✔️ National Selection Events ✔️ Elite training environments ✔️ Potential Team USA pathways for international competition This isn’t just about playing more games. 👉 It’s about getting identified, developing at a high level, and competing on bigger stages. 💥 From the Carolinas… to the national stage.

🥎 This isn’t about the top players. It’s about the players who represent the game the right way. Introducing the Carolinas Select Games—a coach-nominated recognition event designed to highlight athletes for more than just performance. ⭐ What makes this different? ✔️ Coach-nominated ✔️ Character-driven selection ✔️ Effort. Leadership. Attitude. ✔️ Competing the right way This is about recognizing the athletes who: 👉 Show up every day 👉 Compete with purpose 👉 Lead their teams 👉 Respect the game 💥 More than talent. More than stats. The Carolinas Select Games celebrate the players who make the game better—on and off the field. And it all connects to something bigger: 👉 The USA Softball pathway 👉 Future development opportunities 👉 Continued growth within the game 🚀 Recognition done the right way.
