ARE YOU NEW TO SOFTBALL?
WHY SOFTBALL?
Did you hear about youth softball from a friend or neighbor and want to find out more?
First, you're in the right spot. We offer programs for boys and girls. If you have a child that is interested in softball regardless of age, youth or high school, have them check out our new to softball videos posted in the right column.
Our site has a tremendous amount of info so please read through the information on the Pride tab. Can't find what you are looking for? Just email us and we'll be happy to chat with you.
Softball has captivated kids for the past decades. Don't worry if your kid has never played, as most kids here haven't so your child is not at a disadvantage. A lot of kids have only picked up a bat in the last couple of years, and every year we add more new kids to the program.
RESOURCES
Start low and out. Most hitters don’t like that pitch and will let it go by for a free strike. “When in doubt, throw low and out.”
I don’t let them use a glove to field with at the first practice. They learn the catch ground balls barehanded using two hands.
When fastpitch softball players look for a bat they normally seek a bat that has the balance they want, pop, a fast swing speed, and a desirable design.
