STMA Travel
Welcome to the 2026 Big West Travel 8U/10U/12U Registration Page with St. Michael-Albertville Girls Fastpitch Association.
The mission of the Saint Michael-Albertville (STMA) Girls Fastpitch Association is to provide a program for STMA area athletes to learn fastpitch skills, build confidence, and enjoy the benefits of being on a team...all while having fun!
STMA Girls Fastpitch travel program offers and opportunity for girls to try out and play in a more competitive travelling league. Travel softball requires a higher level of commitment from both the players and parents.
Each participant enrolled in the travel softball program is expected to attend all practices, league games, and weekend tournaments during the season. STMAGFA does have an unexcused absence policy which is laid out in our bylaws.
STMA Girls Fastpitch places high priority on skill development, teamwork, cooperation, sportsmanship and respect for others. We recognize that individual players will have different skill levels and needs and strive to foster a positive environment.
