VISION STATEMENT OF THE VIRGINIA BEACH HAWKS GIRLS FASTPITCH SOFTBALL ORGANIZATION


It is the vision of the Virginia Beach Hawks to develop a highly competitive fast pitch softball organization that provides its players with a strong and positive learning environment, which enables them to prosper and flourish in their sport.  To fulfill our vision, the organization must be well managed, financially strong, goal oriented, highly regarded, and most of all supported by its dedicated members. We do not believe a child who has talent should be turned away from playing tournament softball for lack of funding ability. Therefore, we have a very low one time commitment fee and raise the majority of monies needed to fund tournaments, equipment, uniforms, bat bags, etc. through bingo, corporate sponsors, and various other fundraising activities.

GOALS AND PHILOSOPHIES

The philosophy of our teams is one of hard work and dedication. This years 10U and 14U teams are the building block of the Hawks organization. Feeding the 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U teams as the players go on in years, with the goal of securing a college scholarship for each player. The coaching staffs are tasked with:

  • Developing each player to a level of competence by which she will be able to be productive at the next level.
  • Promoting loyalty to the organization by creating a scholarship program to the girls who will attend college after being part of the program.
  • Creating a lasting softball legacy to the girls who play and to be available to their daughters in the future who might become players.
  • Becoming an organization known for the development of players that understand the sport and understand the personal commitment that it takes to become successful.

We envision programs in 5 major age categories (10, 12, 14, 16 and 18U)
