The Unity – Amsler/Johnson team from Virginia will be one to watch in the 14U Maverick division at this summer’s Top Gun Invitational.

Event News: Top Gun Invitational Announces Maverick Pools for Next Month’s Event

The Top Gun Invitational takes place a month from now: June 13-16, 2024, in Shawnee, Kan.

Considered one of the top club softball events of the Summer, this year’s tournament will feature 310 teams with 214 in the Maverick division and another 96 in the Viper division.

The pool lineups for each age division have been released and Line Drive Softball will list them in the following order:

 

  • Today: 14U & 12U Maverick division pools
  • Saturday: 16U Maverick division pools
  • Sunday: 18U Maverick division pools

 

Robb Behymer, head of Top Gun, is excited about the lineup of talent that will attend this summer.

“This year’s field is the strongest to date,” he says. “This is one of the most impressive lists of teams that I have seen here at Top Gun Invitational since I started.”

He believes that the caliber of quality talent has a wide-ranging impact… and not just in softball.

“The talent and competition coming into Kansas City during the Top Gun Invite will certainly prove why interest in female sports is on the rise,” Robb continues, “especially in the Midwest. These athletes and coaches keep raising their competitiveness and talent levels.”

Here are the complete pool lineups for the younger age divisions…
