Softball Factory National Showcases, formerly known as Southern Stars, provide Elite Travel Softball Teams with Maximum Exposure to College Recruiters. Each event will be professionally run by our experienced staff, which includes former college coaches, recruiters and Gold Level travel softball coaches. Building upon Southern Star’s success in college recruiting and placement rate, the additional benefits available through Softball Factory will provide the ultimate recruiting environment for players and coaches.
