Virginia Stars-Nichols

We’re thrilled with the players who’ve come out so far, and we’re holding one more opportunity to meet our coaches and players and join the fun. We’ll be back at Benton on Wednesday with pitchers and catchers at 5, and position players at 6. Message here or email for more information.

Coach Keith and Coach Mark will hold another opportunity to meet the next generation of stars a week from Tuesday. We’re looking for players who are coachable, driven and possibly interested in playing in college.

Our teams are low on the drama and high on the skill development and confidence building. We’re open to players at any position. If you have questions or need more info, message us here or shoot Coach Keith an email.

💫 The Shooting Stars are coming to Prince William County!

After coaching alongside Coach Mark for Stars Showcase-Nichols since Winter 2021, Coach Keith is launching 18U Gold McMillan this Fall with a goal of coaching players who are interested in reaching their potential, whether that’s playing in college or otherwise.

We are holding open-workout-style tryouts on July 7 and 9 at Benton Middle School. Reach out here or by email for more information or to set up a private tryout.

Congrats to the four players from last Fall’s Stars-Nichols team (Leila, Cate, Adriana and Madison) who earned all-district honors during the high school season. Since there’s no team this summer, some of these players have moved on to other organizations, but we forever celebrate their success.

Coach Mark and Coach Keith made it out to Riverbend to see Leila have two hits as the Bears beat Freedom-South Riding, 7-5, to earn a spot in the Class 5 Region D final and a state tournament berth.

If you haven’t seen .pannell post this already, we couldn’t wait to spread the good news. We are thrilled for you and your family and excited for the next chapter. Well deserved!

Here’s Jorja Gregory at her signing-day ceremony at Woodbridge High School, flanked by Coach Mark and Coach Keith, family, friends and her Vikings teammates. Jorja, a Stars pitcher/outfielder, heads to Virginia Union in the Fall.

REMINDER: We are looking to add players to an established core ahead of our summer season, at any position and any grad year 2026-29. We are an 18U team focused on player and personal development, led by experienced coaches, that will travel throughout Virginia and neighboring states. Whether you’re looking to play in college or to be in a competitive environment where coaches teach but don’t forget to have fun, we can get you there.

We’ll be at the Stars’ indoor facility in Manassas Saturday at 1 p.m.; please wear turfs or sneakers. Register at starsshowcasesoftball.com/tryouts, and reach out directly if interested but you can’t make it.
