The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Ashley Dowling  from the NWFL as National Player of the Month for her remarkable play in February 2025. Ashley Dowling, a versatile player for Crossfire Fastpitch Dowling, excels in the infield—SS. Her February stats include a .875 batting average, a .923 OBP, 4 singles,2 triples, 1 home run, and 9 RBIs.

Ashley Dowling’s softball journey began when she was just five years old, and ever since, she has loved playing the sport. She enjoys the competition and the friendships she has made along the way, which continue to motivate her as she grows both on and off the field.

A cherished memory for Ashley is when she had the opportunity to compete in the Little League World Series, a moment she holds dear. Another standout moment in her softball career was when she hit her first home run over the fence—a grand slam during the championship for the Alliance National Qualifier. These memories are just a few of the highlights that continue to drive her passion for the game.

Ashley’s favorite softball player is Skylar Wallace, who inspires her both as an athlete and as a role model. When she’s not on the field, Ashley enjoys spending time with her friends and going swimming, finding balance and joy in activities outside of softball.

Looking ahead, Ashley has clear goals for the future. Her current goal is to play college softball in Florida, as well as to return to the Little League World Series and, this time, win it. With her determination and skill, she is working hard to make these dreams a reality. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Ashley Dowling on her well-deserved recognition as Player of the Month, acknowledging her outstanding contributions to the sport and her commitment to personal and athletic growth.

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?

The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League’s Player of the Month. Following the announcement of each League’s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month. To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League’s monthly report.
