Developing Leaders Through Academics & Athletics

​​

At Ascend Fastpitch Academy, we’ve built a revolutionary new model for fastpitch development. Young athletes train daily like collegiate players — 20+ hours of structured weekly development that includes position-specific skill training, strength & conditioning, mental performance, and college pathway preparation — while enjoying full academic flexibility through homeschooling and FLVS.

Our proven system develops confident, skilled, and resilient leaders both on and off the field. In partnership with the Homeschool Sports Foundation (501(c)(3)), we’re creating Tampa Bay’s premier fastpitch academy by expanding access through scholarships, equipment assistance, community programs, and impactful youth development.
