The Official Fastpitch Foundations Thread ;)

[javasource]

Yes, FF will launch on the 28th.

Emphasis will be on establishing a foundation for learning. As Ken mentioned, not a video store or drill factory... but instead, a place where players, parents, and coaches can all learn. Live presentations will bookend all self-study materials... our goal is to be there with you and for you.

To be honest, it's a bold departure from the softball norm... and we recognize that won't be for everyone at first. But as a company that calls themselves "Foundaions"... there really is no other way... and we are so excited to pull back the curtain.

This forum was the motivation and meeting place of our company, so we are forever grateful to each of you and look forward to making this journey with you!!!

WOW, I had to do a double take. So FF is getting off the ground? Great News!

Amazing! DD was a longtime student of Rich and got the weekly update on FF from the outset. So nice to see it FINALLY come to fruition. Many years in the making I know. Congratulations!

@javasource @Rick Pauly I tried to sign up tonight but your site would not except my password even though I was way beyond what it asked below:

A minimum password strength of weak is required. The password must be at least 6 characters in length. Consider adding letters, numbers, and symbols to increase the password strength.

FYI - I did all the above and much more but still wouldn't let me join. I am sure just a typical issue with a first time site but wanted to report back to you so you could fix it. Can't wait to sign in and jump aboard!!

Both my DD & I registered last night and didn't have any issue with passwords (one was weak & one was strong).

Just a question: did they get permission to use the picture of the USA pitcher (in uniform) on the site? The reason I ask is, I was informed by ASA several years ago that if I used a picture of myself in a Team USA uniform I would be sued, infringed copyrights apparently. Nice huh?

I had put in a name and numbers well over 6 characters but had used 1,2,3,4,5 at the end which it is probably why it still said very week. Changed that up and all good now!

Just tell them they can't squeeze water out of a rock.
