WHY CHOOSE VARSITY?

 

TRADITION BUILT IT.  INNOVATION IS TAKING IT FURTHER.

 

Created by Denise Davis in 2005, The Varsity School has been the foundation of Planet Fastpitch’s elite training and culture for nearly two decades. This fall, the program enters a new era—reimagined with advanced technology, cutting-edge performance systems, and the same powerful culture that has produced hundreds of collegiate athletes.

 

Directed by Denise, The Varsity School is designed for select pitchers, hitters, and catchers who are fully committed to personal growth, deep learning, and competitive development. Applicants are hand-selected for their work ethic, curiosity, focus, and leadership potential—on and off the field.

​

Varsity is for serious athletes only—those with collegiate goals or a deep passion for softball. If you’re ready to train smarter, compete harder, and become part of a culture that builds both champions and confident young women, this is your program.

 

Varsity means more hours at PFP, more personalized feedback, more challenges, more tech—and more growth.

 

​
