Event Description

The Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series (AFCS) is the pinnacle event for teams in the Alliance Fastpitch Member Leagues. The top finishing teams from each Member League will face off in a college softball post season format at the AFCS and battle it out for the title of National Champion.

The 2026 10U & 12U AFCS will be hosted by Bullpen Tournaments in Westfield, Indiana. The coaches meeting will be Monday, July 13th with competition and Players Experience beginning on Tuesday July 14th. Qualified teams can receive their invite code by reaching out to Julie Whiteaker (julie@thealliancefastpitch.com) with Alliance.
