Letter From Our Founders
Lady Knights Fastpitch is not your ordinary sports program. We are focused on developing youth in a loving environment. While we strive to be the best sports program that we can, and we are confident that we have some of the most knowledgeable coaches implementing the latest in sports physiology and psychology research, we also know that there is much more to be gained by competing on a team than just medals and trophies.
​
Trophies and Achievements will fade... but the bonds our kids make with each other and the memories will last a lifetime. In addition, players learn valuable life skills and teamwork!
​
Our job as coaches is simple; it is to love our athletes and provide them with the best coaching. If we do that, with God's help, we will achieve what we have set out to achieve... Personal and Team Excellence!
