Lindsey and Lisa show extreme passion for the development and continued growth of the sport by fostering and all year around approach. They start each year with indoor development clinics for all ages as well as a more focused evening for our pitchers. You will always find the one of them at each of these events. They follow up with the much anticipated Spring league full of action and excitement. In 2023 the association hosted their 1st tournament in years as well as co-hosted the U15/U17/U20 Districts with the Penticton Minor Fastball Association. Both of these were wildly successful. The association always ensures all age groups are taken care of we also hosted our 2nd annual U9 Jamboree with 10 teams as well as built a U11 Supermite team to participate and compete in a tournament in the lower mainland over the July long weekend. This association will only continue to get better and better with these two ladies doing what they are doing. They have a great support system with the rest of their board members as well as all the families in the association.

Westside Fastball Association is where young athletes can advance their skills as players, learn about leadership and build a sense of community all while playing a game they love. Our framework is designed to help nurture and build skilled athletes and allow them opportunity to strive for academic and personal sport excellence. Through well trained coaches, trainers and volunteers; we have built a program where parents and guardians can watch their children strive for self desired perfection, on and off the field.
We think our little club is pretty great but here are a couple of key reasons to play softball this spring at WMFA:
Our mission is to keep kids healthy and active in sports because it sets them up to succeed and lead in life beyond sports. We are driven to fulfill our mission because aside from the obvious benefits of physical health and wellness, we know that sports help young people develop the confidence, leadership and teamwork skills that are essential for success in later life.
