Fast-Pitch Softball is a highly competitive sport, which requires a great degree of commitment and ability. The commitment and ability is necessary for the safety of all players. Fast-Pitch is a game much like baseball, the ball is a hard softball, the game is fast paced, and the players must be focused on the game at all times. Pitching is the most challenging part of Fast-Pitch for both the hitters and the pitchers; the ball is pitched at a great rate of speed depending upon the age and the ability of the pitcher. Being able to field and throw the ball is a necessary skill that all players must have to play Fast-Pitch.
Any girls 8 years or older who are interested in learning how to pitch should immediately contact Frank Badolato at 341-0935, to inquire about Mt. Lebanon’s current pitching clinic.
Dear Parents and Coaches,
Mt. Lebanon Girls Softball Association is a member of the "Positive Coaching Alliance". This alliance is part of a national organization and the local Mt. Lebanon Youth Sports Alliance. The purpose is to help coaches do a better job of using sports to build character in young athletes. This was not the result of any problems in our activities, but rather as an effort to maintain and improve what is already an excellent program. Based on last year’s results and feedback, we are even more committed to making "positive coaching" an integral part of our association.
We have placed in writing what our expectations are for the players, coaches and parents during the season. These expectations are contained in three documents, one for the player, one for the coaches and assistant coaches and one for the parents or guardians. All are available at registration, from your league officers and on this website. See forms below.
The players are asked to "honor the game" by showing respect for the rules of the game, opponents, officials, teammates, the game’s tradition and coaches. The coaches are asked to be a "positive coach", not a "win-at-all-costs coach". We expect the coach to want to win, but just as importantly we want them to help the players to use sports to learn the "life lessons" that will help them be successful long after they stop playing. We ask the parents to honor the game, to give positive feedback to all involved and to reinforce our definition of a "winner" as someone who makes maximum effort, continues to learn and improve and does not allow mistakes or the fear of making mistakes stop them.
The coaches sign the coach’s guide showing their agreement to act in accordance with these principles. Coaches will review the player’s code of conduct with each player. Parents are also requested to review, sign and return the parent’s pledge.
Please show your support for what we feel is an excellent program. With your help we can make this upcoming season another "positive" experience for everyone involved.
Mt. Lebanon Girls Softball Association
