MVSA has decided to highlight our past top athletes that came through our program. What is important here is the fact that MVSA has produced some of the best softball players in the metro and many have gone on to have successful careers playing softball. But if you are a young player reading this it is important to note that most of our top athletes chose a college first for their academics based on their career choice (degree) and what college had the right 'fit' for them and then chose their sport. Many have gone to college just for academics, some have chosen other sports.
All of these athletes were dedicated to the MVSA program. Among them they have countless number of Tri County championships, State championships and many National tournament accomplishments. MVSA has worked with more college players that chose to play with their local association. The best part is that MVSA has earned all of these accomplishments and yet has the lowest fees in the Metro Area. We are a 1/3 of the price of most, not all Metro Association and 1/12 of the price of any "club" team. MVSA produces memorable "affordable" experiences!
If you are an MVSA Alumni, please send us a note. We would like to hear about your High School and College accomplishments. We would really like to have a note on your reflections on what MVSA meant to you. This page will be always evolving so we appreciate your feedback.
Softball is played for the love of the sport. MVSA has been fortunate to have many great athletes come through the Summer program and go on to college. Here is just a snapshot of some of the top athletes that have played for MVSA in the past and went on to attend college.
