How are the groups assigned?

Denise Davis and Kerri Jacklets will assign group rosters based on abilities and class chemistry:

• Groups will be assembled with respect to experience, body awareness, mechanics, speed, pitch menu and age.

• PFP kindly asks local players to train in Monday & Tuesday groups to enable long-distance commuter access.

How does the admissions process work?

Applications must be completed and submitted for review:

• Varsity Grads from previous years do not need to complete the online application.

• Rolling admissions: Beginning immediately and ending when the program is full.

​

How to qualify for enrollment in the Varsity School?

• Completion of previous Planet Fastpitch Varsity Program or PFP training

• Must have active status as Planet Fastpitch VIP GOLD Member.

• All outstanding balances paid in full.

​

What are the requirements of the Varsity School?​

• Computer access.  An iPad, iPhone, or iPod.

• For pitchers, you need a catcher and/or parent who is able to catch.

• Players must be academically eligible in order to maintain enrollment in program.

• High attendance record.

What is the Varsity School Policy?

• Varsity status remains active until high school graduation/departure to college. The contract is renewable annually.

• An auto-pay program MUST be established with PFP. Upon acceptance, PFP now requires all students (with the exception of those who have paid in full) to set up an auto payment plan in their eSoft account. 

• In the event of short-term, acute injury, players are requested to attend classes to learn by observation. In the unfortunate event of long-term injury, with a valid medical documentation, a medical leave of absence from the program will take place. Pitchers will pay for a pro-rated month and then take the leave. If there are pitchers on the waitlist, they will be invited to fill the open slot. Fees for the waitlisted individual will also be pro-rated as will the balance of private lessons for the remainder of the academic year, basing the remainder of a 2 per month scale. If a VIP participant is pulled from the wait list, she will immediately join the program and will incur a charge for the remainder of the month, a deposit and then begin a monthly installment. She will be a matriculated student in the program from the time that she is pulled from the wait list. The injured pitcher may re-enter the program when healed and when there is an opening in the program.

• After 2 warnings and a player/parent/coach conference, any student who does not cooperate with the philosophies, goals, assignments, training regimes, academic eligibility and/or misconduct policy (including drug and alcohol policy) will be dismissed from program and the balance of the yearly tuition is required to be paid in full.

• In the event of extremely inclement weather, classes will be cancelled. There is ONE weather-related make-up in April TBD. There will be no other make-up opportunities. Private lessons will not be exchanged for missed groups. Make-ups are not available for schedule conflicts, sickness or vacations.

• Planet Fastpitch will provide a Varsity Network list of all students in this elite program (with permission of the student). The list will include name, phone and email. If you have conflict with your assigned time, it is your responsibility to contact a student in another class to make a possible switch. PFP assumes no responsibility for a student’s personal scheduling adjustments. These classes are similar to college classes and must be treated with the same respect. Professors would not be called upon to make up a missed class privately with a student. It is the student’s responsibility to attend the pre-paid sessions regularly.
