The Vermont Rockets feature fastpitch softball teams at 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 16U team in 2002.   Over the years, the Rockets' program has helped inspire the growth of fastpitch softball programs in Vermont.  Players are now drawn primarily from southern Franklin County and northern Chittenden County high schools, with occassional additions from farther away. 

The Vermont Rockets' organization is busy year nearly year round.  Spring finds the coaches finalizing the rosters in preparation for the Summer travel ball season spanning June and July, and into August.  Fall features the Rockets' annual Calcutta fundraiser while allowing for a brief hiatus before the preparation for the Winter Pitching Clinic, which spans December, January, February, and into March.  The highlight of the year is the Vermont Rockets Invitational Tournament, traditionally held in Franklin County during the first weekend in August.  Mark your calendars and swing by to enjoy the action on the field -- and tasty treats from the Rocket grill & snackbar!

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

The Rockets 2012 schedule is finally complete and released - see the Rockets Files section. Hotel information is included.

The Team Meeting will be held Sunday May 6 at 11 AM at the American Legion Hall in St. Albans. Please be sure to bring your uniforms. Registration forms are available on line or at the meeting. Remember to bring your health insurance info if filling out the form at the meeting. New players should bring a copy of your birth certificate that we can keep.

The 2012 Player Registration form is now available in two formats - HTML and Excel. This form will need to be completed for each Rockets player.

Please note that this year the registration form will need to be filled out prior to participating in either Ralph's or Anna's winter pitching clinics, but the 2012 Rockets player registration fees for the season do not need to be paid at this time. 

There is a separate fee for the 2012 clinics which will need to be paid, and this includes the liability insurance we have to obtain to use the facilities at St. Albans and Fletcher elementary schools, as well as the facilty fees.

Dates for both clinics are the following Sundays:

     January 8, 15, 22 & 29

     February 5, 12, 19 & 26

     March 4, 11 & 18

Registration forms and fees should be paid at the clinic.
