More Than 30 Years of Elite Fastpitch Experience
For more than 30 years, The Cup has given elite fastpitch athletes an opportunity few players ever experience — competing internationally while exploring Europe, building lifelong friendships, and growing both on and off the field.
Now, we’re opening a special opportunity for one dedicated coach to lead a USA team to The Cup 2027 in The Netherlands. If you’re passionate about developing athletes, creating unforgettable experiences, and helping young players see a bigger world beyond the softball diamond, we’d love to speak with you.
Why Coaches Choose The Cup
Being selected is about more than wins and losses.
- Rewarding athletes who have worked hard to reach the next level
- Helping players gain confidence through international competition
- Creating memories that last a lifetime
- Building stronger team chemistry through shared experiences
- Representing the USA on an international stage
- Giving athletes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they will never forget
For many players, this is their first international trip and one of the most impactful experiences of their young lives.
Coach Incentive Program
We reward the coaches who make it possible.
We understand that recruiting players and organizing a team requires serious effort. That’s why we’ve created a Coach Incentive Program designed to reward coaches who help make this opportunity possible.
As athletes commit to your team, coach incentives increase. Many participating coaches earn enough to offset or completely cover their travel expenses for the trip.
Contact us for complete incentive details and qualification requirements.

Athletes Have Multiple Ways to Pay
Affordability is not a barrier.
One of the biggest concerns coaches have is affordability. The good news is that The Cup provides athletes and families with multiple fundraising and payment options to help make participation achievable.
Our proven fundraising and payment programs have helped hundreds of athletes participate over the years. We’ll provide the tools and guidance to help your players succeed.

What Makes The Cup Different?
For 31 years, it's been more than a softball tournament.
It’s a leadership experience. A cultural experience. A personal growth experience.
Athletes return home more confident, more independent, and with a broader understanding of the world around them. Many former participants still describe The Cup as one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.

- Loves developing young athletes
- Believes sports can change lives
- Wants to provide unique opportunities for players
- Has connections within the fastpitch community
- Can recruit and lead a roster of motivated athletes
- Wants to represent the USA internationally
If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
