Whitpain United Travel Softball
10U through 16U travel softball program for the girls of Montgomery County, PA
About Our Program
Whitpain United was founded on the belief that unity is a softball team’s greatest strength – driving perseverance and collective growth. Our motto, ‘Only as strong as we are united,’ embodies our commitment to creating a culture where every player is valued and supported. It's the heartbeat that propels us forward, uniting individuals into teams capable of overcoming challenges and reaching new heights.
Though we may be new to the travel scene, that’s exactly what sets us apart. We are not here just for the wins; we are here to foster a passion for playing together and staying together. For more information, contact our program chair A.J. Russo.
Our Core Values
NURTURE SELF-CONFIDENCE
We believe in nurturing self-confidence, fostering camaraderie, and creating a close-knit community within our teams. Our goal is for players to not just excel on the field, but also to develop as well-rounded individuals with a determination to succeed together.
EMBRACE MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES
We understand the busy lives of teenagers, as well as the value that embracing multiple sports and interests brings. As such, our program is designed to accommodate diverse schedules, allowing players to pursue other passions alongside softball. While we encourage this exploration, we do ask United players to prioritize team commitments should a conflict arise.
PRIORITIZE AFFORDABILITY
We are committed to making the sport of travel softball more accessible. By managing our tournament schedule efficiently, we keep our program budget-friendly, while maintaining high-quality coaching and support.
