Atlanta Flames Fastpitch is pleased to announce open tryouts for the 2013-2014 season in the 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and High School age groups. The Flames are for the committed player who enjoys the camaraderie of team sports, appreciates the hard work necessary to achieve success in tournament softball, and values the improvement that comes from competing against the best. We will be passionate about improving at the fundamentals of softball, enjoying ourselves, learning a few life lessons, and winning. Our goal is to always put forth our best personal effort and maintain a positive attitude.
The Flames carefully select their coaches to ensure they are of the highest caliber. All head coaches must have significant prior coaching experience. In 2013, the Flames became a partner with Positive Coaching Alliance, a national organization that helps youth sports programs emphasize the principles of positive coaching. Through this partnership, the Flames will create and maintain a culture that honors the game.
