We believe in the transformative power of sport

Through our facilities and numerous community programs, we use a combination of teaching, technique, and technology to instruct and educate young athletes, and to support organizations of all sizes.

Professional Instruction

EL1 Softball is the women’s fastpitch softball programming division of EL1 Sports, a national sports training company created by athletes, coaches and educators who believe in the transformative power of sport to make a difference in people’s lives both on and off the field. The goal of EL1 Softball is to improve and enhance playing, training and exposure opportunities for young girls and women in softball. Through this, we can accomplish the greater mission of preparing young women to be confident and successful in the game of life!

In our facilities and through our programs, run by a female-led staff who have played softball at the highest levels, we are always focused on teaching skills that will help women to gain confidence and experience.
