Why Play Fastpitch?
The number one reason girls love to play fastpitch is because it's fun! Participating is fun. Running, hitting, sliding, catching, stealing, it's all fun and it's exciting. Our younger teams even have their own cheers!
When girls are playing a team sport it is something THEY are doing. They are making things happen. They are totally involved in the outcome. This makes them feel they are important, valuable and that they are needed. This creates self confidence and good self esteem.
Fastpitch requires a certain skill set. Developing and mastering these skills is challenging and very rewarding. The girls see that they are becoming faster, hitting farther, catching better, etc. and this creates a sense of pride and accomplishment as well as instilling discipline and dedication.
By being a member of a team the girls learn about team spirit and working together toward a common goal. They learn to rely on each other and support each other through the wins and the loses. Each member of the team is critical to its success. The team uniforms help to reinforce a sense of pride in the team and the community it represents.
The benefits of regular exercise are numerous. Physically fit children are not only healthier but recent studies suggest that they often do better in school as well.
The Cayuga Gamblers are coached by experienced volunteers who have a passion for the game. We practice all year round. During ball season we are outside on the diamond and in the off season we are in local gymnasiums and batting cages. We work on drills to improve softball skills, co-ordination, conditioning and agility. As the team or individual evolves their needs change. The coaches are continually updating and changing their practice plans to keep the practices exciting, current and relevant to the evolving team.
Fastpitch is a great way to make new friends whether you are new to the community or are a long time resident. Come on out and check us out.
