Carroll has a rich history in girl’s fast-pitch softball and is
repeatedly commended for sportsmanship and conduct on and off the field and
being able to compete with the best. This is not achieved easily and the
coaches and players are commended for this. The coaches and girls are very
proud of their reputation and high standards. All North
Carroll coaches are trained in first aid, risk management, field maintenance,
dealing with players and parents.
Coaches are taught the fundamentals on all aspects of fast pitch and certified
by various organizations. Coaches also must pass a thorough background check.
The organization has an active professional clinician and instructor that
provides guidance and training as required. The
program offers a pitching clinic from October to March and a general skills
clinic from January to March. Both clinics are open to girls of all ages and
are nominally priced. Members of the program receive the skills clinic at no
additional cost. The clinics are noted as having the best instruction and
structure around. For further information contact North Carroll at ncgfp@erols.com

___________________________________________________________ The purpose
of this program shall be to organize, instruct, and supervise the playing of
fast pitch softball under specialized rules and regulations, to secure
suitable and adequate financial backing for said purposes, and to provide
suitable playing facilities and equipment for said purposes. To provide instruction at
a higher level of competition than intramural play while assisting players to
improve their skills and knowledge of the game. To instruct players in the
skills required at the high school and college level of play. To provide
guidance and support on and off the field. To encourage sportsmanship over
winning, and develop character, leadership, and a positive attitude. To conduct activities so that the
physical and moral welfare of the young people shall remain the paramount
concern and all matters of policy shall be determined on that basis. The North
Carroll Girls' Fast-pitch program began years ago as a result of one simple
question, "Why are we playing slow pitch when they play fast pitch in
high school and college?” Thus began our program as an independent
organization. We were the first program in North
Carroll was one of three original founders of the Tri-County league of
southern PA. The league originally formed under the YMCA then went off
on its own after the YMCA personnel moved on. Thus began the Tri-County
league with four 18&U teams. Since that beginning the league has
grown in leaps and bounds, offering 14&U as well as 18&U
divisions. North Carroll is still a active member of this organization. We
belonged to the North Carroll Recreation Council for several years but left
to join an organization that was oriented strictly towards baseball and
softball. That organization was the Hampstead Lions Baseball and
Softball Association, Inc. Because of philosophical differences we
parted ways and became an independent organization. North Carroll Girls' Fast
Pitch became incorporated in January 1997 to protect its name and the members
of the organization. In 1998, we became certified by the IRS as a
non-profit organization (501(c)3). This allows us to take advantage of
certain opportunities offered to non-profit organizations, as well as to
accept tax-deductible contributions from our supporters. In 2006 we became partners with the
Hampstead Lions Baseball and Softball Association once again to offer the
competitive side of fast pitch. The
president of North Carroll is the Director of the Hampstead in-house
program. North
Carroll Girls' Fast-pitch has been the feeder program for many High
Schools. The Organization consists of
local young ladies and young ladies from all over A scholarship fund has been created to provide
financial assistance to players attending college. Scholarships are awarded
annually to those young ladies that have participated in any of the program
for two consecutive years or are certified coaches. They must be seniors in high school or
