SPIKES SOFTBALL

Wheatland Spikes Girls Fastpitch Softball

 

The Wheatland Spikes is a competitive Girls Fast Pitch Softball program for players 7—18 years old. The teams compete in the fall, spring and summer and train indoors at our Spikes Training Center October through March.  Our teams participate in ASA, PGF, NSA, USSSA, and College Showcase Tournaments throughout the US.  Margie Wright, the WAA Spikes Director of Player Development, works with coaches and players throughout the year, including specialized clinics and training.  College recruitment is a focus for high school age participants.

 

The Spikes vision is to become the premier softball program in the Midwest.  We anticipate 14 teams for 2014.  We emphasize having fun on the field and stress class and sportsmanship in victory and defeat. By seeking out quality trainers, coaches, players & opponents through the game of softball, we will instill in our players a positive attitude, a sense of self-responsibility, discipline, respect and a strong work ethic. These principles are central as we strive to develop skills, teach solid softball fundamentals, and prepare our athletes to be the best they can be; both mentally and physically.
