A Little ABout US
We feel it is our job and responsibility to prepare girls to play at the college level. Many of our players, both on their own and with our help, are playing in college softball programs today.
Mirage teams have won numerous travel tournaments throughout New England and over 100 Mirage players have gone on to play at the collegiate level.
Our organization emphasizes fundamentals, individual instruction, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the well-being of every player.
The team name was inspired by the famed Las Vegas luxury hotel and the purple, teal and white uniforms were inspired by the 2001 Maryland Legends. Today, the Mirage uniform colors are widely recognized throughout the travel ball circuit.
Testimonials
“As the parents of a player from Western Massachusetts, our daughter’s choice of softball travel teams in our immediate area is limited. We feel extremely fortunate to have discovered the Mirage organization and our daughter has flourished under the tutelage of experienced, dedicated coaches. The chemistry between teammates, parents and coaches has been excellent and has led to a strong, supportive atmosphere for all.”
“The level of coaching expertise
available in travel, exceeds any other opportunity that may be available in other programs. This has been my daughter’s chance to build her confidence in a sport that she loves to play with the hopes of playing at a higher level.”
“Travel Ball really teaches the girls how to play the game and to be on top of their game. It gives the girls that want to excel a chance to compete and doesn’t hold them back like little league does. They learn so much more about the game; develop their skills, their knowledge of the game, and are just so much more comfortable playing than girls that don’t play Travel Ball. The difference is HUGE!”
