About Us

ABOUT TIER ONE FASTPITCH

We are a veteran owned organization founded in 2010, originally as Impact Fastpitch.  In 2017, we re-branded to Tier One Fastpitch, and our growth has been amazing ever since. 

Our name not only reflects our level of service and commitment to our teams, but also one rich in tradition to the professions which our values are built on.  While we will still host USA Softball tournaments, we also host our own in some areas.  In either case, you can expect the same quality events. 

Our goal is clear and simple - to provide a safe and reliable program for youth fastpitch teams while providing unforgettable experiences through quality, well executed events at an exceptional value.

TIER ONE & USA SOFTBALL

Tier One Fastpitch strongly supports USA Softball, the national governing body of fastpitch softball in the United States, parent body of Team USA, and Olympic committee representative.

TIER ONE FASTPITCH STRATEGY

• Experience and quality before all else.  Our mission is to ensure that once your team sets foot in the park, they immediately realize that our events are not like any other events they've played.
• Every age group is important.  Every player in every age group will get our best effort.  
• Appropriate competitive levels for all teams.
• Make it easy for coaches and managers to play with us. 
• Knowledgeable Officials.  All teams in all age groups will be assigned experienced, knowledgeable officials who understand that different age groups will require a different skill set from them. 
• Giving Back to the community.  We feel it is important to have a charitable heart.  Tier One Fastpitch is proud to be the only tournament organization with it's own charitable foundation, The Tier One Heroes Foundation. 
• Skill Development
• Provide access to Regional and National Events
