Register for our 8/1 Player Evaluation Day!

For those of you unaware of what we are about philisophically it is pretty simple.  We prioritize exposure to a large variety of college coaches over all else.  We believe in playing up (no 15 year olds on 14U...).  We seek the stiffest competition available and are less concerned with winning trophies and would rather challenge the girls in this incredibly competitive atmosphere.  We are finding ourselves at the main fields at all of the events we attend such as Newtown Rock Gold Showcase, Stop DWI, Wicked Extreme. New England's Finest...  Most recently we finished in the top 12 during pool play at the 36 team main event at Stop DWI which was a "who's who" of Gold teams- going 3-1.  We went on to defeat a variety of excellent teams before falling in the championship to the TC Tremors Gold 4-2.  The reward in all of this was the large variety of college coaches in attendance watching our games and evaluating our players.  We did this with what is a 16U eligible team and not a single 2011 grad year player but again we choose to play up rather than win 16U events and chase what is really meaningless glory.  ***Also, the week before our Elite which is mostly a second year 14U finished in second place at 16U ASA A States thus qualifying for 16U ASA A Nationals in Chattanooga, Tenn. 

We are now planning for next season and conducting our Player Evaluation Day for 14U, Elite & Gold.  We are looking for Upstate, NY's best softball athletes in graduating classes 2013-2017.  One system at all 3 levels, work out together and push each other.  Non-parent college level coaching, drill work, fundamentals, fast paced workouts... and most importantly frequent open dialogue with college coaches from all over the country.  Register now for a chance to join the Battery Lightning Softball organization "A Bluechip Softball Organization".
