Renovations have been completed on converting our field to artificial turf.  This includes the bullpens, and fencing.  The State and National Championship banners have been replaced, as well as a new wrap on the scoreboard.  Visit the LaVista City Park page for photographic updates as construction progressed.

To all Alumni and Monarch Softball Program Supporters:  

Please consider a nontaxable donation for our 3rd Annual Alumni Scholarship and/or to our Monarch Softball Program.  The donations go to a Scholarship that our Seniors can apply for as well as upgrades to the Monarch Softball field and equipment.  

We are trying to raise money to upgrade the Championship Banners to make them permanent at the field as well as a mural on the press box.  

Our program has a 31 year tradition that is unmatched by any other program in Nebraska.  Qualified 31 straight times for the State Tournament with 17 State Championships and 6 State Runners Up.  If you’re an alumni, hopefully our program had a positive impact on your life and if you’re a supporter, you’ve enjoyed following and keeping up to date on our program.
