ABOUT BOMB SQUAD SOFTBALL ORGANIZATION
Bomb Squad Softball is an ASA girls fast-pitch travel softball organization in Anaheim Hills, consisting of 4 teams 2 teams in the 12U division, one team in the 16U divison, and one in the 18 Gold division. It is our goal to develop highly competitive teams that will make a run at ASA Nationals every year, while developing each of our players to help them reach their potential, and prepare them for the highest level of softball.
In 2004, our first season on the fast-pitch travel softball scene, we consisted of only one 10U team and accomplished many of our goals. We qualified for the 2004 ASA National Championship in Tulsa, OK, the 2004 Triple Crown World Series in Park City, UT and the 2004 USSSA Western Nationals in Riverside, CA. We completed our inaugural season with second place finishes in both the Triple Crown World Series and the USSSA Western Nationals. Members of our inaugural team have since moved up to our 16U and 18 gold team and have collected two other top ten finishes at national tournaments and placed 33rd (out of 129 teams) at the 2007 14U ASA National Championship in Normal, IL.
In addition, over the past 5 years, Bomb Squad has fielded 20 teams which have competed against some of the top teams in the country. Over the same period of time, Bomb Squad teams have finished in the top 10 in national tournaments 11 times, including 7 top 5 finishes and 4 runner up finishes.
We have since added 4 more teams to our organization this seasaon and we are determined to develop our players to be the best that they can be, on and off of the field. Our young ladies learn that through teamwork and having a great work ethic, we can accomplish our goals.
