Girls with Game Experience 2026
For the fifth-straight year, NCAA Division I collegiate softball will return to the home of the Little League Baseball® World Series with the 2026 Girls with Game® Experience, set to be held at Howard J. Lamade Stadium on October 17 and 18.
While the collegiate teams participating in the exhibition games will be announced later this summer, registration for the softball clinic that provides access to this unique opportunity is officially open.
The Saturday, October 17 clinic is open to softball players ages 9 to 12 and features instruction in fielding, hitting, and throwing, along with a dedicated session focused on the mental side of the game. Following the clinic and a provided lunch, participants will attend a collegiate softball doubleheader at Lamade Stadium. Each game will be followed by exclusive autograph sessions, giving participants direct access to the collegiate athletes.
New in 2026, the experience expands to include a pitching and catching clinic on Sunday, October 18, held alongside two Division I softball programs and offered to softball players ages 9 to 12. This session will focus on position-specific development through targeted pitching and catching drills. Following the clinic and a provided lunch, participants will be able to attend another collegiate softball game at Lamade stadium, with more opportunities to interact with collegiate athletes through an exclusive autograph session.
