Who are the Lady Shamrocks?

The Stateline Lady Shamrocks is designed for the softball player who wants to receive the absolute best softball training in the area but is not ready for the jump to a travel program. We are a rec-level program that provides the training needed to make it to the next level while still keeping the game fun! The Stateline Sports Group has kept the cost of the program very affordable, giving you the best value for learning the types of skills that are only taught at the club level, all within a supportive environment surrounded by other softball players that are eager to learn and improve.

An Organization That Grows with You

The Lady Shamrock program is part of the Stateline Sports Group ladder of fastpitch softball programs. The Lady Shamrock program gives the players the opportunity to train and play at their goal skill level. We are a great fit for recreational-level players that want to make it to the next level or rec-level players that are looking for a great experience and to learn the game the right way. The uniqueness of the Stateline Sports Group fastpitch softball programs is that players can move up and down in our programs from the Lady Shamrocks (recreational), Fury Futures (class B/C, local tournaments) to our Stateline Fury travel (class A, full-travel program).

If you sign up for the Lady Shamrocks you are a part of the program, WE DO NOT TURN ANY PLAYERS AWAY! Once signed up, your player will train by age group and be placed on a team that is best suited for their skill level and softball goals. We will never turn a player away from the game and will do our best to allow you to enjoy the game at a level that is in line with the players' abilities and goals.

And we LOVE our multi-sport athletes, so your player will never be penalized for playing another sport. We encourage our players to play other sports and will continue to support them in any way we can. All we ask is that you communicate your schedules to our coaches ahead of time so they are able to plan out practices and events so our other players aren't impacted negatively.

Top Tier Teams Create Top Tier Players

The best way to develop players is to challenge them. At each age group, we create a tier of teams as it relates to skill level and their goals in softball. All our teams will have the same resources available to them and have the same access to our facilities and training.

For those players that want to play on our top-tier teams, we offer private tryouts for our Fury and Fury Futures teams. If a player doesn’t make that team, they will of course still remain in the program just on a team that matches their current skill level. This will allow the player to continue to develop and climb that ladder next season if they want to. 

Unmatched Training

Another big difference between the Lady Shamrocks and other local-only organizations is the additional training players receive from the most experienced and highly trained softball staff in the Stateline area. All year long your player will be taught different softball skills and techniques through a variety of methods, such as team clinics, camps, and scrimmages.

In the off-season, our players take part in our program training sessions that are built to develop a solid base of fundamental and advanced softball skill sets. Each off-season training session begins with getting the players’ measurables, such as speed, throwing velocity, exit velocity, etc. We end the off-season training by measuring them again to gauge their progress and highlight areas for improvement.

Also during our off-season training, players take part in a speed and agility program developed by the University of Wisconsin’s Athletic Department designed to increase a player’s athleticism with a focus on softball-specific movements. Better athletes make better softball players! 

We pair this with weekly skill sessions and position-specific training, all designed to help our players build a solid softball foundation. We cover the basics such as throwing, hitting/bunting, and fielding mechanics all the way to the more advanced skills such as slap hitting and situational awareness. 

Between the measurables, speed and agility, and weekly sessions…our off-season program is second to none!

And the coaches get training too! All Lady Shamrock coaches go through our coaches' training program with the Stateline Sports Group "Next Level Training." This program is year-round and features monthly sessions with collegiate softball coaches and clinics based on specific strategies, including how to build a successful practice regimen. This will ensure that your player will be coached in the correct manner in all aspects of the game.

All the Games You’ll Play

The Lady Shamrocks season consists of 20+ league games in the Stars of Tomorrow league, 15+ league games in the SSG fall league in addition to 3 league tournaments. We also facilitate multiple scrimmage games for our teams and we have partnered with local colleges to expose our players to softball at some of the highest levels with college games held at our facilities.

The Lady Shamrocks program gives your player the best opportunity to learn the game of softball from the best coaches around and continue to grow their skills all while keeping the game fun!

The Best Value Around

Our goal is to create a home for anyone to learn to play softball the right way and the Lady Shamrocks is by far the best value you are going to find at the club level. Our annual fee of $295 includes spring/summer and fall league, 3 league tournaments, a full uniform, and access to ALL our training! Our off-season training program itself is a $300 dollar value, so you essentially get a full uniform, games, and facilities for FREE! Also, our flexible payment plans allow you to space out the annual fee to reduce the impact on your budget.

We are able to keep costs this low because of our strong commitment to fundraising. We have two fundraising events a year in which ALL Stateline Sports Group programs take part in. Fundraising for the Lady Shamrocks is done at a program level and not by teams, this ensures there are no haves and have-nots. And any increase in resources is felt across all programs and age levels and not by individual teams. There are buy-out options for those that do not wish to partake in our fundraising activities which you can enroll in at the time of registration or during the fundraiser events.

These fundraising efforts make it possible for us to not only keep costs low but also offer hardship scholarships to those in need. This helps guarantee that no one goes without access to a great softball program because of a lack of resources.
