🥎 Our 2026-2027 season is getting ready to ramp up after an incredible year for USA Explosion! Our national teams are coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history, highlighted by a Triple Crown World Series Gold Championship and a third-place finish by our two 18U teams, along with outstanding performances at some of the nation’s premier events. We also saw tremendous success throughout our entire program, with our 16U, 14U, 12U, and 10U teams winning league championships, tournament titles, and consistently competing at a high level all season long. We continued our tradition of helping athletes reach the next level, with 34 college commitments in just the last four graduating classes. Our commitment to player development, team culture, and providing opportunities for athletes at every age continues to be the foundation of everything we do.
🥎 Tryouts begin this week and continue into next week! If you can’t make one of our scheduled tryout dates, don’t worry—we’re happy to arrange a private tryout that fits your schedule. Be sure to check out the flyer for all the dates, times, age groups, and locations, and scan the QR code or use the registration link to pre-register for tryouts.
🩷🩵We can’t wait to welcome back our current players and meet the next generation of USA Explosion athletes!

34 College Commitments. Four Graduating Classes. One Mission. 🩵💗🥎

Since the Class of 2023, USA Explosion Softball has helped 34 student-athletes continue their softball careers at the collegiate level.

From Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College, our athletes have earned opportunities through years of hard work, player development, exposure, and strong relationships with college coaches.

And the momentum continues…

The Class of 2027 has already produced 4 Division I commitments—with more to come.

We’re incredibly proud of every athlete and family who has trusted our program and committed to the process. Your success is what drives us.

Many of you have been asking about tryout information and we will be releasing that shortly! This year tryouts will be held in Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Boise after our National Championship season concludes. We believe our athletes and coaches deserve to stay fully focused on competing at the highest level before turning our attention to building next year’s teams.

Thank you for your continued support of USA Explosion. We can’t wait to share what’s next!

💙🩷 Respect the Game.
