The Vermont Rockets feature fastpitch softball teams at both the 18u and 16u age levels.  The Rockets program was established in 1995 by Coach Ralph Halbach with the 18u club and expanded to include a 16-U team in 2002.  Now that many areas of Vermont have established their own summer traveling clubs, the Rockets concentrate on filling their roster with players from Essex High School and a number of Franklin County Schools including BFA St. Albans (with some players still joining in from "away").   Built on a rich history of competition and sportsmanship under Ralph's leadership, Rocket Ball enjoys a positive reputation in Vermont's fastpitch circles.

The 2009 season has come to a close -- with Mother Nature ultimately being named the champion of the Rocket Invitational for the 2nd year in a row, as rain washed out the finals of both age groups after a truly glorious day for ball on Saturday.  Thanks to all for their efforts this season -- it's on to next year now! 

Thanks for visiting -- and thanks for your support of the Vermont Rockets!
