Ultimately, the goals of the Pacific Pride are to promote and operate fastpitch softball programs for girls of all ages, regardless of ethnicity, creed, economic status, religion, national origin, or ancestry. To teach and instill fundamentals of fastpitch softball, the importance of hard work, sacrifice, teamwork, team chemistry, accountability, responsibility and fair play, while building self-esteem and confidence. To help our girls achieve and reach for their highest competitive level of fastpitch softball, so that they might better succeed at higher levels in college, and life. The following is the mission statement of the Pacific Pride Organization:
"Our goals as coaches are to build character and bring out the best in each individual, while providing a fun environment as they learn the game of fastpitch softball. Our coaches emphasize teamwork, good sportsmanship, sacrifice, pride, intergrity, respect,good work ethic, and encourage all athletes to do well in school, with the hope that one day these ladies will realize their dreams of becoming good college student athletes in the game of women's fastpitch softball and more importantly become productive people in our communities"

It is never too early to be ahead of the game. In addition to excelling at your present schools, there are certain testing entrance requirements established by colleges and universities that must be attained before a student/player can be allowed to attend. This is in addition to their academic, extracurricular and sports activities. There will be ongoing testing for SAT/ACT. SAT testing will be on May 5th and June 2nd at Maui High School. Go to collegeboard.org for more information and registration. ACT testing will be on June 9th at Saint Anthony High School. Go to act.org for more information and registration.
Your Pacific Pride Organization T-Shirts are ready for order. If some of you are having a difficult time opening your email to see the designs, you can select the link above T-Shirt orders are ready! or please ask your team moms for a hard copy of the forms. I will get those out to our practices next week. Please get money and completed forms in to your team moms as soon as possible. We want to put in our first order in a week starting Monday. To keep our costs to a minimum, we are only printing on white or grey shirts on the first order. Also, there will be no youth sizes on the first order for the same reason. Shirts will generate revenue for our general fund. Thank you for your continued support of your daughters. Mahalo, Coach Jerry

The 10U and 12U girls gained a lot from their experience as Pacific Pride traveled to Oahu to play in a pre-season Friendlies Tournament. We won many, lost some, but most of all gained in learning about one another. Even the coaches learned a lot about their players and are looking forward to a successful season with many challenges ahead. We hope everyone enjoyed the experience and is ready for the next challenge.
