The young athlete and their development is greatly impacted by those they see directly ahead of them.

WHO WE ARE

The Absolute Blast Elite Youth Training and Playing Association (dba Absolute Blast Fastpitch Association) is a 501c3 non-profit and was founded in September of 2014 with the sole intent of building an environment where the development of our youth could be done in a safe and secure manner. Our mission is to teach not only the game of fastpitch softball, but to allow kids to dream and to help them to turn those dreams into reality.

We strive to expose our young athletes to the benefits of dealing with both adversity and success. By adhering to our AB core values, these athletes will come to embrace what it truly means to be a student-athlete.   Ultimately, they will come to realize the impact that they can have on their communities both as individuals and as part of a team.

The Absolute Blast Fastpitch Association aims to accomplish the following:

  • Produce highly competitive fastpitch teams at various age levels.
  • Assist our athletes in the process of collegiate recruiting and enhance their exposure opportunities.
  • Foster an environment where female athletes are challenged and provided with attainable goals both on and off the field.
  • Be involved in charitable activities and using our strength in numbers to impact the lives of others within our communities.
  • Establish a mentorship program where young athletes are coached and challenged by the older athletes in our program. Each year our younger players practice side by side with our older ones. By creating an environment where both inspiration and aspiration naturally occur, and in addition a selfless appreciation for what our older girls will be providing, we know this cycle will pay tremendous dividends for many years to come.
  • Provide opportunities to our community based Little League organizations to come to our facility and receive instruction. We want to share what we’re doing with the hopes that it will make our association more than just a self-serving entity as it pertains to the game of fastpitch softball.

The Absolute Blast Fastpitch Association’s vision is a simple one and that is to improve the lives of our youth both on and off the playing fields. We embrace the impact we can have on the individual and the community as a whole.
