Why should my daughter play for a BC Fastpitch team?
As a BC Fastpitch player you will have access to everything under one roof at our indoor facility-HOMEFIELD-from speed and strength training, indoor team practices (18 tunnels, enclosed full-sized infield, private lessons with our instructors, classrooms for building softball IQ and mental training. You will also have access to all our training technologies-Rapsodo, Blast Motion, DARI, and Proteus.
How much are the player fees for BC Fastpitch teams?
Each team will be different depending primarily on the amount and type of tournaments your team will play. Other elements will be indoor/outdoor practice volume, uniforms, and if you are playing for a paid coach. Not all our teams have paid coaches…that is dependent on the age group and team.
What all is included for players on a BC Fastpitch team?
Team Fees again are dependent on each team, but will cover tournaments, indoor/outdoor team practices, player membership, insurance, uniforms and possibly a paid coach. Our fees are spread out over an 11-month period.
What does a membership include?
Every player in our BC Fastpitch organization will have a Player Membership which includes access to our indoor facilities-hitting and pitching tunnels as well as fielding areas for individual player development. For our HS players, it will also include the Open Gym area where they can strength train individually.
Where do you practice?
Our indoor facility-Homefield is in Olathe (I-35 and 119th St.-across from Bass Pro Shop). Outdoor practices vary depending on the team.
Do BC Fastpitch teams travel?
All of our National Teams-BC/Peppers and older 16 & 18U teams will travel to National and Regional tournaments. Again…this is dependent upon each team and season.
Do we have to be a BC Player to take private lessons with Building Champions Fastpitch instructors?
You DO NOT have to be a BC Fastpitch player to take lessons with our instructors/coaches. And the same goes for BC Players as well…they do not have to use our BC Instructors.
