The signings highlight the exceptional talent nurtured in this coastal Alabama community.


In a NCAA contract signing event, the following players recently made their choice:

Other players from the Orange Beach championship team have also made recent college commitments. Teagan Revette, a key player for the Orange Beach squad, has chosen to continue her athletic career at Mississippi State University.  Katie King and Ava Hodo, both integral members of the team, have set their sights on the University of Arkansas.


The success of these athletes not only brings pride to their school and community but also serves as inspiration for younger players in Orange Beach. It showcases the potential for local talent to compete at the highest levels of collegiate softball.


Softball has grown enormously over time. Looking at college softball alone, the 2024 Women's College World Series Finals between the top two teams in the nation, Texas and Oklahoma, drew two million viewers, the most on record. South Carolina is ranked in the Top 20 by USA Today.
