We will be on a small hiatus from our podcast, Everything Fastpitch. A key member of our crew, our producer, had a little health scare, and he won't be able to produce for a little while. Meanwhile! We will be uploading mini podcasts throughout the time he is away! And once Elizabeth gets comfortable enough with editing, we will be back to Everything Fastpitch the big podcasts! 

All of us at Fastpitch Prep thank you for your support, your patience, and your dedication to us! We appreciate you so much more than you know!
