Spring Jr. High League

We currently have over 80 teams that play in the Spring League.  These teams come from all over NW Ohio and SE Michigan.  Games are played on Weekends from April 1 – May 15.  We have 3 divisions – Varsity, JV and Minor League (4-5^th grade).  Games are played at the team’s home field.  

Teams must be community based.  The Spring League’s purpose is to give girls more opportunity to practice and play with girls from their own school and to develop for their high school program.

Wizard Program

We currently have 20+ travel teams in our Wizards Program.  Players can still play on their weekday league teams.  The mission of the Wizard Program is to provide opportunities for girls to play higher-level competition.   Success is not measured by wins/losses but by how much the players have learned and improved on their softball skills by the end of the summer. 

We strive to provide better coaching and still make it enjoyable for the girls. Our coaches attend a number of coaching clinics to help them with the latest coaching techniques and we hold regular weekly coaches meetings to share tips and ideas.  Our Wizard coaches also work with many girls throughout the winter at our training clinics.

           We will continue to promote Wizard teams with non-parent coaches whenever possible.  Our Wizard Player Fees are kept low so the majority of kids that want to play travel ball can do so. 

Travel Tournaments

           FAST will be hosting several travel softball tournaments each summer, including the Farley Memorial Tournament in June that offers 8 games for teams.  We also will be hosting the Great Lakes Tournament and the NFCA College Recruiting Camp.  The camp and tournament offer players and teams a great spotlight to showcase their talents to many college coaches.  The Great Lakes tournament will be open to only 16U and 18U teams.

Fall Ball Program

Fall Ball was started in 1998 with 180 players. Today there are over 900 players.  Divisions have expanded into a junior high league, a 4-5th grade league and a Gold High School league.  In the 2006 season full competitive teams were allowed in all age groups. This will provide newly formed tournament teams the ability to work together before the following season. These competitive divisions will also have league standings and a champion.  Fall Ball is a great opportunity for all players to work on their skills in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Winter Softball Practices and Clinics

Winter Indoor practices and clinics are held throughout the winter months.  These practices are fun, informative and affordable.  General practices are open to all players, all ages, regardless of team affiliation and are conducted by many of our Wizard travel team coaches, as well as local high school and college coaches.  We offer small group and individual lessons in pitching, catching and hitting with some of the most outstanding instructors in softball today.  We also have several college softball players from around the area working with our kids in practice.
