Alexis and Erica are DI players and former Iowa Blitz/Iowa Gold players! Check out the camp they are putting on.

Happy to have the Houge girls back this winter break offering TWO opportunities for youth softball players. There camp was well attended last year, so secure one of the limited spots while they remain available!

We are looking to add players to our Spring & Summer Rosters. We have openings for either Spring Only or Spring & Summer teams. Tryouts will be held at our indoor facility, The Ridge Sports Academy, on Sunday, December 15th.

Iowa Blitz and Iowa Gold focus on player development and athlete growth. Through a variety of offseason training programs & camps, experienced non-parent coaching staff, and access to both indoor and outdoor facilities we pride ourselves in helping players achieve their goals and grow both as softball players and athletes in general.
