Built around what players actually need

From covering registration fees to opening doors with college coaches, our programs meet players where they are.

Scholarship Program

Merit and need-based financial awards for players who have the talent and the drive but not the resources to compete at the level they deserve.

Our scholarship program removes the single biggest barrier to youth softball participation: cost. Travel teams, tournament fees, coaching clinics, and equipment add up fast — F.A.S.T steps in to cover the gap.

  • Annual and semester award cycles
  • Covers registration fees, travel costs, and gear
  • Multiple award tiers — no one-size-fits-all
  • Simple application process — no bureaucratic hurdles

Mentorship Program

Pairing players with coaches, college athletes, and leaders who invest in their whole development — on the field and beyond it.

Great mentors change lives. Our program connects players with people who have walked the path before them — athletes who've navigated the recruiting process, coaches who've developed talent at every level, and professionals who understand what it takes to compete and succeed.

Financial Assistance

Flexible, direct support for the costs that push families out of the game — no red tape, no judgment.

Not every need fits a scholarship mold. F.A.S.T provides flexible financial assistance for specific costs that arise throughout the season — from a last-minute tournament entry fee to a broken bat that can't be replaced.
