DALLAS — The Texas Volts will host a free youth softball clinic on Sunday, April 26, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Texas Rangers Youth Academy’s All-Star Legacy Field, with four Volts players providing instruction alongside Academy staff.
The Volts contingent includes catcher Michaela Edenfield, pitcher Alyssa Denham, and infielder Danieca Coffey. The clinic is one component of a Texas Rangers Day celebration honoring the Academy’s connection to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which earlier in the day will host 20 Academy athletes for a tour led by Texas Rangers alumni Elvis Andrus and Rafael Palmeiro.
Registration for the clinic is open at texasrangersya.leagueapps.com. Limited spots remain.
The Setting
The Texas Rangers Youth Academy is a free year-round development program serving youth across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, providing sports instruction, academic support, and mentorship at no cost to participants. The Academy operates the All-Star Legacy Field as its primary on-site facility for clinics and camps. Texas Rangers Day adds an annual programming layer that connects Academy athletes with both major-league alumni and now, professional softball players from the AUSL’s Texas franchise.
The Volts Players Involved
Edenfield is a back-to-back NFCA All-American catcher from Florida State and was the Volts’ selection in the 2025 AUSL Golden Ticket pool, joining the team in the league’s inaugural draft. Denham, an Arizona alumna, is one of the Volts’ veteran arms heading into the 2026 season. Coffey came to the Volts from LSU, where she finished her college career as one of the program’s most consistent infielders.
The clinic is the kind of pre-season community work that AUSL franchises have used to build identity in their home markets ahead of the league’s expanded six-team season opener on June 9. The Volts play their home games at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, the largest venue in the league, and have used April for a string of community appearances around the state.
What Comes Next
The 2026 AUSL College Draft airs May 4 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2, after which the Volts and the league’s five other franchises will finalize their rosters for the June 9 season opener. The 2026 AUSL season is the first year of expanded six-team play under Commissioner Kim Ng, with the addition of the OKC Spark and Portland Cascade joining the four 2025 charter teams.
