Matawan Huskies
Travel Softball Club est. 2020

Launched in January 2020 as an extension of Aberdeen-Matawan Youth Athletic Association (AMYAA), the Matawan Huskies' main goal is to provide a developmental opportunity for young female athletes to advance in the game of fastpitch softball, while providing town pride in a collegial, yet competitive environment.

​

In the 2024-25 season, the Huskies will field teams at the 8U (2016 & 2017 birth years), 10U (2014 & 2015) , 12U (2012 &  2013) and 14U (2010 & 11) levels.  To be eligible to play on an 8U or 10U team, players are required to register in AMYAA’s spring rec. softball program.  Fall rec. participation is optional. In ages 12U & above, playing in the rec. league is suggested but not required. 

​

The focus of the organization is and always will be player development.  Players from neighboring towns are encouraged to tryout and may be selected, based on an individual team's need.  Each Huskies team will practice on a town field, one or two times per week and have the ability to participate in local leagues and tournaments, competing against town-level teams at their respective skill levels.  Unlike larger club-level organizations that travel far and often, we anticipate that the Huskies will play a more moderate semi-local schedule, allowing the girls to hone their skills in a competitive, but less pressurized environment. We have lots of girls who play other sports, or participate in other activities, so don't let that deter you!

​The long-term goal of the Matawan Huskies is to build a pipeline for the school teams, giving our girls an opportunity to get to know and play with each other for years before they reach middle school.  The girls in our program have benefited in many ways, forming strong social bonds, learning about teamwork and advancing their skills - and this coming year, we will have our Huskies players making up the vast majority of the middle school's team roster.

In the past four seasons, we've built a great network of dedicated coaches, parents and training partners and currently have over 60 girls and close to 20 coaches participating in the program.
