The Rapids Travel Fastpitch Softball Organization has grown from one team in 1993 to teams at every level from 14U to 18U for the 2008 season. More than 50 girls in these age groups presently play in competitive tournaments in CT, and on the East coast as well as in the Virgina Beach College Showcase in Virginia Beach VA. Rapids teams have won numerous PONY and ASA tournaments and have enjoyed success at various Local and National tournaments over the years, and have assisted 28 former players in succeeding as college level softball players.
Our organization takes pride in promoting teamwork, commitment, sound individual instruction, sportsmanship, and providing for the safety and building the self confidence of every player. We also strive to maintain a balance between winning and having a fun filled summer season, building lasting friendships and player/coach relationships.
We are very proud of the reputation, history and accomplishments Rapids Softball has earned since its inception and look forward to another successful 2008 campaign.
Congratulations to Destinee Meeker - Elms College, Meg Cyr - Babson University and Gretchen Tholen - Kings College for being 2007 Rapids players now playing at the college level, we'll see G and Meg back for 2008. And good luck to Corrine DeJoseph at Springfield College who joined us for 2008!!!
