Heat Fastpitch Academy’s home facility is located in Newton, KS, just N. of the Wichita metro area. We also have teams based in Salina, Hutchinson, and Derby, and we’re continuing to expand. Unlike large organizations where you simply “buy the name,” our owners work directly with every player and coach, ensuring all of our teams receive the same high-level development and support. If you’re a coach or team looking to join a proven, family-focused program, we’d love to talk with you. Bring your team into the Heat Family and join our success.

Join the G2 Heat Fastpitch Academy Family

Eighteen years ago, Anthony and Victor founded G2 Heat Fastpitch Academy with a simple goal: to provide their daughters with an opportunity to compete, develop, and pursue their dreams through softball. What began as a single team quickly grew into one of Kansas' most respected fastpitch organizations, with teams competing throughout the state and athletes advancing to every level of collegiate softball.

 

Today, both owners are active college coaches with a combined decade of collegiate coaching experience. They continue to work college showcase camps, recruiting events, and tournaments across the country, building relationships with coaches and programs nationwide. Those relationships provide our athletes and families with valuable recruiting guidance and exposure throughout their softball journey.

 

**Whether you join the Heat Family or not, parents and players really need to be vetting or verifying the teams and coaches they are playing for!!  There are too many teams, organizations, and coaches out there talking about how they are going to help get your recruited when they have never done it themselves. Some organizations use the "National" teams success to pull in parents and players but don't realize the team they are joining doesn't hav that type of success or experience in working through the college recruiting process!!

 

You should ask:

1. Have you personally put any player into college and helped them directly get a scholarship? 

2. How many athletes have you helped get into college from YOUR team? And what levels have they gone too? NCAA NAIA JUCO?? 

3. Does your team or organization actually help with recruiting and do you know the rules of when they can talk to you? Do you know college coaches and do you talk to them about your players? Or do you just take your teams to showcases and leave it up to the parents and players. A lot of them do this. 

4. How do you know college coaches? Do coaches call you and ask about your players or other players from the area? 

 

Just playing in showcases doesn't mean you will get seen. Playing in a lot of local showcases will not help your recruiting when a lot of KS coaches leave the state to go recruit out of state. How are you going to get seen or get in front of KS Coaches or any coaches if you do not know where they are going? It is more than just picking showcases and camps to attend. 

 

Ask teams these questions. Get answers before you join!!!
