Looking to finalize our roster for our 9U team! Additional tryout added! No registration required!

This one hurts.

Sometime overnight, our fields were vandalized. Tables were flipped, trash cans dumped, garbage scattered everywhere, and damage was left throughout the park.

What frustrates us most isn’t just the mess—it’s the disrespect shown to a place that so many people pour their time, energy, and heart into. 515 Fastpitch is built by volunteers. Every improvement you see at our park is because someone chose to spend their evenings and weekends making it a better place for our kids.

This morning, those same volunteers showed up once again. Instead of enjoying their weekend, they rolled up their sleeves, cleaned up the mess, and got the park ready so our athletes could continue doing what they love.

To every volunteer who came out today: thank you. Your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed, and this organization is better because of you.

To whoever did this, you may have created more work, but you didn’t break our spirit. We’ll clean it up, fix it, and keep moving forward—because that’s what this 515 family does.

If anyone has information about what happened overnight, please reach out to us privately.

WE > ME. Always. 🧡💙

💎🧡💙 Heart of the Diamond Classic Recap 💙🧡💎

What a gem of a weekend with a side of heat and rain 🥎

The Heart of the Diamond Classic was packed with big hits, diving plays, championship moments, and memories that will last 😍
.

To all the teams who traveled near and far, the families who filled the stands, the umpires who kept the games moving, the volunteers who worked behind the scenes, got fields ready, braved it out in the rain , every athlete who left it all on the field and to our sponsors that believed in our girls—thank you💎🥎🧡💙
.
We saw bats that were on 🔥 , defenses that sparkled, and enough hustle to shine brighter than the Iowa sun. While only a few teams went home with hardware, every player helped make this weekend something special 🫶🏼

From first pitch to the final out, this tournament truly hit it out of the park 🥎
.

Until next time, keep chasing dreams, stealing bases, and playing with heart 🤍

Hello Families,

Due to the weather, today's tryout has been canceled.

For players who were registered to attend today, coaches will be reaching out directly to schedule private tryouts as needed. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work through the weather-related change.

Because of the cancellation and the need to complete private evaluations, there may be a slight delay in the bid process. Our goal is still to move as quickly as possible while ensuring every athlete receives a fair evaluation.

Thank you for your understanding and your interest in 515 Fastpitch. We look forward to connecting with you soon.
