More than 100 fastpitch softball teams will compete in Alpharetta this summer during a four-day tournament that marks its 10th year in the city.
The Triple Crown Southeast Nationals will take place July 17-20 at multiple sports facilities, including North Park in Alpharetta. Girls teams in 14-and-under, 16-and-under and 18-and-under age groups will compete for the Southeast Nationals title.
The tournament features club travel teams from across the country, with top nationally ranked players competing in four pool games before moving to a single-elimination bracket format.
Triple Crown Fastpitch prioritizes hosting a premier tournament in Alpharetta each year, and we’re excited to bring our 10th year of Southeast Nationals back,” said Scott Crawford, Fastpitch Event Director of Triple Crown Sports.
