Welcome to Fusion Slowpitch Softball!
Fusion Slowpitch Softball is open to girls from Pre-K through 12th grade living in the Apple Valley and Eastview draw areas. We do accept communities that do not offer slowpitch in their community programs. Our program offers a wonderful, supportive opportunity for players to learn the game, develop their skills, and make lifelong friends.
⌚Built for Busy Families
We know your calendar is packed. Our program is intentionally designed to fit into your life with:
Consistent, reliable schedules so you can plan your weeks ahead of time.
Minimal weekend commitments, leaving your Saturdays and Sundays open for family time.
The perfect pace for multi-sport athletes or families looking for a balanced activity.
📍Local Community Play
Fusion is a proud member of the South Metro League. Your player will get to compete against and connect with friendly neighboring communities, including:
Apple Valley & Eastview
Bloomington
Burnsville
Eagan
Prior Lake
Rosemount
GETTING THE 2026 SEASON STARTED!!
As a community-run program, we are entirely dependent on volunteers to make the season run smoothly and successfully. Volunteering your time as a head coach, assistant coach, or even as a team manager is a great way to get involved with your children and the community! We would greatly appreciate you registering to volunteer. So as we prepare for 2026 please keep coaching in mind.
