Golden State Stars (Softball): Welcome

Welcome to Golden State Stars (Softball) website which is a satellite website of Golden State Stars.  Originally this website was known as First Nation Softball Academy.  First Nation was originally established by myself (Stan Hunt) August, 1975.  On April 1, 2009 I decided to move from the Hickman Youth Sport Facility to Stadium Golf Center and Batting Cages.  In doing so I decided to join with the creator of Golden State Stars, Cordell Hipolito.  It has taken almost 2 years for the transition but it went into effect on January 1, 2011.

Golden State Stars (Softball) has been established to assist young pitchers and catchers in achieving the highest level of expertise in the sport of fast pitch softball.  This website is used to provide information on individual pitchers and catcher and their achievements and scheduling for lessons.

To observe both baseball and softball information the main website is  www.goldenstatestars.com

For information concerning lessons please contact Stan Hunt at:  pitchingdr@yahoo.com

Golden State Stars (Softball) has room for 4-6 new students so if interested in your daughter learning how to be a catcher or pitcher at any level please contact Stan at his email listed above.
