SPFast was formed in 2016 as an independent not-for-profit organization located in Scotch Plains, NJ and was incorporated as a 501(c) (3) with the IRS in January 2016.

The objective of this organization is to promote girls’ travel softball to various age groups and skill levels. In the process, we hope to foster the values of fellowship, physical fitness, good sportsmanship, training, and sponsorship of girls’ softball.

SPFast places these values over the values of winning and believes that winning will take care of itself when our values are followed.  Winning at the cost of our values, health, and safety is never accepted. When we compete to the best of our ability, display strong morals, and have pride in our program, we win, regardless of the scoreboard.

All administrators and coaches are volunteers and are not compensated. Coaches must maintain a Rutgers Safety Clinic and undergo a background check.
