Advanced Fastpitch

AFA is a premier high school level and youth softball program. Advanced Fastpitch is not just a “travel team”, we are a College Developmental Program.

Finished up my All-Academic Showcase game and had a blast! Didn’t get a lot to hit, but got to show off the wheels with an infield hit and a couple of SB as well as the eyes with a walk and HBP!

Just for perspective… I would have been no where near this list as a 7th grader… NO WHERE CLOSE! So much changes in the next 2-5 years… this is plain silly.

[Showtime Sports @ShowtimeSports1]

What a weekend. Thanks for hosting @AFA_softball and @norsesports

We will keep traveling to find the best for this summers showcase.

@megand2024 and @burdickmaddie8 with #Back2BackJacks on 2 pitches in @RLSoftball_ showcase last weekend. Dropping 💣's! @AFA_softball

Maddie Burdick is an animal behind the plate. She pounced and turned a good drag bunt into an out, also threw someone out stealing 2B, then pounded a deep HR to center. All in the same inning! @RecruitLook #rlsoftball @burdickmaddie8 @AFA_softball
