We are incredibly proud to announce that every Thunder Fastpitch player that tried out for their high school team this spring has earned a spot, continuing our 100% success rate. In addition, several players earned spots on Varsity or Junior Varsity teams as freshmen or sophomores, which is an incredible accomplishment.

We can't wait to see all of these young athletes bring the boom to the high school diamond this spring!
