Travel softball season begins after high school season ends which is generally mid May and continues through July. To help defer the costs of attending recruiting tournaments we hold fund raisers and seek sponsors to ask for donations. All players and parents are expected to participate in helping with raising money for the team.

The West Florida Elite’s founder is Dennis Roesle,owner of Roesle Sports Consulting. Mr. Roesle was Area Director for National Scouting Report for over 7 years before deciding to venture out on his own so he could concentrate on prospects located in the Mobile Alabama and Northwest Florida area. Mr. Roesle’s experience dealing with college coaches, and his expertise in the field of recruiting, are an additional benefits for Elite players. His recruiting consulting program, combined with the Elite's tournament schedule, is a major reason colleges are aware of the Elite organization. This gives the players the opportunity to be recruited and receive scholarship offers.

Mission Statement

The West Florida Elite are composed of some of the better high school softball players from all over Northwest Florida and South Alabama. Elite players are dedicated athletes seeking the opportunity to play at the college level. The team's goal is to provide exposure for high school players to colleges by attending national tournaments while helping increase player skills by going up against top competition.

We are very proud that in our first full season all five of our seniors have received scholarship offers, including the first player to ever be signed by the University of South Alabama’s new Division 1 program. We look for players that possess great attitudes, top work ethics, and are academically strong as well as having the ability to play at the next level.

If you're not willing to work hard, and not dedicated to the game of softball, then this is not the right organization for you.
