DOES EAA OFFER RECREATIONAL SOFTBALL?
Yes we do! For athletes who are just starting out or want a fun, low-pressure introduction to softball, the Futures program is the perfect place to begin.

Practices and games are designed to be fun and engaging while helping players develop essential skills at their own pace.
