House Program – Recreational Ball

The AMFA’s Recreational or House program is for boys and girls aged 4-20, for players with and without experience.

The AMFA’s House, also referred to as ‘C’ program, is great platform for athletes who enjoy both the competitive and social aspects of softball. Focusing on further developing fundamental skills through positive instruction and encouragement, the program is best suited for girls who are willing to learn and want to have fun, but do not necessarily want the high pressure that goes along with elite level competition.

While the practice and game schedules are not as intense as they are in the rep program, the overall experience is just as positive and rewarding. A focus on the AMFA’s core values of commitment, effort, passion, integrity and equality will be a cornerstone for children who experience the AMFA’s House program.

Outlaws Program – Rep Ball (U11-U19)

The AMFA’s Rep, also referred to as the ‘A’ or ‘B’ program, is for girls aged 10-19. The Abbotsford Outlaws Rep program is committed to facilitating elite level skill development in a fun, safe, and competitive environment. For many athletes, playing on a rep team can be an exciting and rewarding experience.

Players are selected on a tryout basis and expected to maintain a high level of commitment to softball, practicing multiple times per week during the off-season and playing in tournaments on weekends during the season. The overall goal is to provide a well-structured program that teaches athletes core values and challenges them to elevate their game to the next level.

As a member of the Outlaws Rep program, parents and children should expect more travel, and a more significant time commitment, leading to long term skill development. Although the competition will be more intense, our focus on the AMFA’s core values of commitment, effort, passion, integrity, and equality will remain prominent throughout a player’s experience in the AMFA’s Rep program.
