What Is The Alliance?
The Alliance Fastpitch was officially founded in the Summer of 2020, but the story began as a shared desire for change amongst leaders in youth fastpitch two years prior. The vision for collaboration, enhanced competition, and athlete-centric decision fueled the idea of The Alliance Fastpitch.
Regionalized play was sparked by circumstances of a global pandemic. However, the regional based league model that’s inclusive of existing events from various associations and empowers the voice of the individual, proved to provide the platform needed to create purposeful play and drive this collaborative mindset. This model started in Texas and soon scaled throughout the country. The Alliance Fastpitch is the bridge that connects everyone nationally. It is a unified network that empowers each individual voice and fuels connectivity.
