The Orland Park Sparks were founded in 1979, and since have developed a tremendous history of providing the best available fundamental instruction, quality competition and exposure for young athletes. The program was founded with honest values and has strived to be not only the best in Illinois, but throughout the Midwest and nation. The Sparks have also been instrumetal in providing  a venue for tournaments that host several compettitive teams. Additionally,many of the Sparks staff have been called upon to be clinicians for coaches, players and umpires.

The teams have developed an outstanding tradition nationally, based on success in some of the highest level tournaments. The Sparks teams have made repeated visits to ASA National tournaments at all age levels. The 18U team has made it to Nationals 15 of the last 16 years, highlighted by the 1996 Class A National Championship. Sparks teams have also finished in the ASA Top 10 nationally on six other occasions. Because of the consistent level of success, the Sparks name has become synonymous with high-caliber softball throughout the nation.

Good luck to all the Sparks teams in 2009!
