Storm Try-Outs
The MVSA Storm Softball program is the oldest, most established, and most successful program for providing top-notch fastpitch softball in Montgomery County. The program is entering its fifteenth season and has consistently produced some of the very best players in the region. Headed by an experienced, highly respected softball commissioner, Storm boasts some of the very best coaching and instruction assembled for producing fastpitch softball talent. Six current coaches, to include three returning players, played fastpitch softball (ASA and College), competed, and won at the highest levels, with a combined 64 years of softball tournament coaching experience. MVSA has its own practice fields and facilities. Year in and year out, MVSA Storm programs have recruited the best talent in the area and produced some of the best teams on the East Coast.
Our program accomplishments include:
- 6 consecutive 30+ win seasons (18U) at the ASA "A" level.
- 22 Pony National tournament appearances, including seven top-20 finishes (the best in the county each year) and two top-10 finishes (the best in the state each year).
- 37 first-place tournament championships, countless second- and third-place finishes.
- 48 PONY National berths.
- 17 ASA National and Regional berths.
- 23 USSSA and NSA National berths.
Our coaching philosopy:
One of the inherent problems in select softball programs is finding experienced and qualified coaches. We have knowledgeable and experienced coaches in the Storm program who have played fastpitch softball and have traveled and competed at the highest levels (our current 18U coach is entering his tenth year of coaching at the 18U level). While we rely heavily on parent volunteers as coaches, we are proud of the fact that many of our former 18U players are now returning to coach. Our returning player coaches are former All-Met, All-Decade, All-County players who were also recruited to play in college. Our goal is to have established former player coaches at every age level so we can offer the best and most consistent coaching instruction available.
Our high school player accomplishments include:
- Storm players have played on more than 50 high school varsity teams, including 5 state finals teams, 8 state semi-finals teams, and 9 regional title teams.
- Player of the Decade.
- 7 Gazette All-Decade Players.
- 111 First Team All-County/All-Region Players.
- 12 Players of the Year.
- 37 All-Met Honors.
Our college players:
Most who have participated in the 18U Storm program who have pursued the opportunity to play in college have gone on to play for the college of their choosing, including:
- 50 college players (6 receiving all-conference honors, including 1 rookie of the year.)

Storm Hall of Fame:

- 18U head coach enters tenth season with over 340 wins.
MVSA is a non-profit organization. None of our coaches, administrators, staff, or the commissioner receive money for their time or services, nor are uniform prices, equipment, gym, practice fees or hotel rooms marked up to produce a profit for anyone in the organization. All monies go towards the programs for the benefit of the players.
