South Bay Arrows Fastpitch

Elite Softball on the Peninsula

Core Principles

Instruction Beyond Softball

Fundamentals

It starts with the basic building blocks: throwing, catching, hitting, and running. These are consistently cultivated.

Specialization

Branching into position-specific work provides a better understanding of the game without always pigeonholing.

Teamwork

Building a team with roles, leaders, accountability, and culture provides life-long lessons on and off the field.

Confidence

In a game of failure, players flourish when they have confidence that they can succeed, and they see what is possible.

About the Arrows

Seems like we’ve been down this road before.  But the challenge with anything is finding the right balance.  How do we maximize instruction and repetition, while still finding a way to keep up the academics and social life?

 

The Arrows are led by a coaching team that has worked together for years.  Kendall Benton, Jeff Huber, Phil Johnson and Tim Lesser set the tone for finding success on and off the field.

We are different. Why is that a good thing?

First of all, we take softball seriously.  Most travel teams do that.  Those are table stakes these days.  What makes us different is that we are trying to find the balance between serious softball and the rest of life.  Our team is close and supportive of each other – the coaches, players, and families.  We are focused on empowering our players to become great people, first and great softball players, second. And from that, we believe that our players will succeed at a greater rate than other programs.
