Tryouts for the 2011-2012
American Freedom Gold (Trout)

AF Gold Torut tryouts are now closed if you wish to check on any openings or future tryouts please contact Coach Trout.

We offer non-parent professional head coaches with over 20 combined years of experience , a full time recruiting coordinator, and a schedule that provides the most exposure for your player. The fall season includes high profile recruiting showcases such as: Spring Kline Showcase in Houston, Surf City Showcase (Huntington Beach, CA), Ronald McDonald Showcase, Rising Stars Showcase and Elite Showcase. The 2012 summer schedule will again take us to the Colorado Fireworks, ASA/Premier Gold qualifiers, and our own American Freedom Showcase which was in its inaugural year in 2011 and was highly successful drawing over 25 college coaches which lead directly to 3 offers for our players as well as several visits for players from all teams.

Your family will receive assistance in the recruiting process, open and frequent communication, and advanced skill instruction to keep your player progressing. We have had over 85 college coaches scout our team this summer and over 100 different schools last fall during the showcase season, including several D1’s in the Big 12, ACC, SEC, Pac 10, WAC, MVC, and Southland conferences, along with nationally ranked D2’s and D3’s. Well over half of these schools watched our team play multiple games!

The American Freedom organization has grown tremendously over the last three years and now includes a 10u, 12u, 14u, 16u, and two – 18u Gold teams. All of our coaches have one focus, placing our players in college programs that fit the student-athlete and her family.

The American Freedom organization continues to be a leader not only in North Texas but also in the state and around the country when it comes to camps and showcases for promoting our players. In 2011, we hosted our 3rd Annual Division I and Division II camps where we hosted 20 of the top Division I & II coaches and programs from all over the country. These camps are in addition to the 5 winter camps that we hosted from November – January this past year. In all, we have hosted over 40 college coaches and some 300+ campers at our American Freedom Camps.

In just the last three years our organization has signed or verbally committed 21 players in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 classes to Division I schools. Overall, the American Freedom Organization has committed 41 student athletes to continue their careers in college. These schools compete in such conferences as the SEC, Big 12, Missouri Valley, Southland, Western Athletic, Lone Star, and American Southwest leagues.

The American Freedom Gold (Trout) continues to be a leader in Texas when it comes to developing the whole player both on and off the field as well. Our team places an extremely high importance on our players’ academic standards with minimum GPA requirements as well as promoting good character by giving back to our community through our service projects, which this year have included a record donation crayon drive for The Children’s Medical Center, a toy drive for soldiers stationed in Korea to give to orphanages there, and putting on free softball clinics for local recreational leagues.

This is an 18U Gold team, not a developmental team. If your daughter is talented, driven, and desires to continue her playing career in college.
