National Fastpitch Resource opens in Brawley

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA) - A new space dedicated to fastpitch softball players held it's grand opening on Wednesday, March 24.

National Fastpitch Prospects is officially open in Brawley, featuring a store with gear, apparel, and resources for young softball players.

Community members, city council members and families came out to meet the staff and celebrate the growth of E-1 sports in the region.

Fastpitch Prospects aims to help give resources to student athletes in rural areas, like Imperial Valley.

"While opportunities flourish in major metropolitan areas many of our local athletes were left without exposure they needed to pursue their dream," said Victor Nava, President of the Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Organizers say they hope the store and the organizations can become a resource hub for beginner and advanced softball players looking to take their game to the next level.
