New Partnership!

Pirate Fastpitch is excited to announce that we will be partnering with 360U for our 2024 season. 360U will be coming to the Shipyard to provide 8 weeks of hitting instruction. Players will sign up for their preferred time slot with their age division, not necessarily with their team. Lessons will take place during the week, in place of the team lead hitting practices we had in the past. 

They will also be providing additional private and small group lessons. Watch your email if you are a current player or check our registration section to see current availability. 

Why 360u?

The 360U Team is committed to providing quality softball  instruction to each and every athlete that walks through our doors.
