UTM Fastpitch has operated successful Tier 1 programs since 2016. We are excited to offer an opportunity to the London-St. Thomas community this fall. UTM instills in its players the ideals of excellence in academics, good sportmanship, accountability, honesty, loyalty and most important the foundation of FAMILY & TEAM first. Our goal is to develop players who have a like minded skill-set, and are looking to compete at the provincial, national, and post-secondary level. We strive to provide future opportunities for our players both as student athletes and young women on and off of the diamond.
We recognize at the U15 age group there are extensive demands placed on elite student athletes. We strive to create a balance for our players in order for them to excel academically, athletically and socially. UTM Fastpitch's #1 priority is OUR PLAYERS. Everything we do is driven by what is in the best interest of each and every member of our program. Our coaches must promote commitment, teamwork, sportsmanship and respect for the game of softball. Our teams exhibit these values in victory and defeat. We strive to always have FUN, while working hard to strive for excellence.
