Our objective for the All-Academic Games is to select players who have the desire and academic standing to apply at an Ivy League or high academic college or university. Coaches from high academic schools have requested these games and plan on recruiting from them. The All-Academic Games will incorporate both Sparkler and Fireworks players and will be played on Monday June 26, 2023 at Christopher Fields.
We have recruited top academic collegiate coaches to coach these athletes on the field and to recruit at these games.

It is also highly encouraged that you request a confirmation to ensure that Triple Crown received all components of your application.

COLLEGE COACHES ATTENDING
Per NCAA compliance rules, NCAA coaches are not allowed to coach All-Academic games.
Many NAIA level college coaches coach the all-academic games since many times they also have high-academic admissions requirements.
There may also be JUCO coaches coaching as well due to the availability. The “coach” experience is to have the players experience having a college coach in their dugout as opposed to their club coach. All levels of coaches can answer questions regarding the recruiting process and the college softball experience.
Please see the Schools Attending List under the Colorado 4th of July "Event Details" tab.
