Let’s talk about it 📣

We made the move from Iowa Elite Force to 515 Fastpitch.

And we’re proud of where we came from —
that foundation helped build what this program is today 💪🏻

But this wasn’t about just changing a name…

It was about raising the standard arrow ⬆️ .

New leadership.
A refreshed board.
More structure. More accountability. More direction..

And the people leading this?
They’ve done it.

We’ve got coaches running some of the top teams in the state — and others building strong, competitive teams at every level..

Because development matters.

Especially at the younger ages —
where we’re focused on teaching it right, building it right, and not skipping steps..

This program is growing — the right way:
• Indoor facility with 6 hitting lanes
• 6 outdoor fields we call our own
• 145+ athletes from 20+ communities

One of the largest nonprofit programs around — and not associated with a school district

Built for players, and driven by purpose.

Families aren’t just joining —
they’re choosing this.

Because this isn’t about hype…
it’s about doing things the right way.

If you want to play for the name on the front — not just the back… This is your place. 515 is your home 🥎

Same passion.
Just a higher standard.

Fall tryouts are coming soon.
And we’re still looking for coaches who want to be part of building something real.

Happy Easter from our 515 family to yours 🧡💙.

Today’s a reminder that just like this game we love… growth takes time, faith, and a whole lot of heart. Our coaches, girls and families show up, with all three every single day 💪🏻.

Grateful for early mornings, dirty uniforms, big dreams, and a team that feels like family 🫶🏼.

Hope your day is filled with love, a little sunshine, and maybe even a few extra eggs (and wins 😉)

He is risen ✝️

WHAT A NIGHT 🔥🥎🤩

🥎 COACHES CLINIC NIGHT AT THE FIELDHOUSE 🥎

Over 90 coaches in the building at Force 515 Fieldhouse tonight👏.

Huge thank you to MegRem Softball & Defense Lessons by Morgan Stuart— for running a PACKED camp and bringing the heat 🔥.

The drills?
Legit.
Detailed.
Game-ready.
Next-level. 💪🥎.

When you get this many coaches in one space - hungry to learn, sharpen their craft, and pour into their athletes… that’s how programs grow. That’s how standards rise. That’s how culture is built..

💬 Quote of the night:
“Measure your process, not your batting average.” — Morgan for the WIN 💪🏻

Process > results
Growth > stats
Development > hype.
And a HUGE thank you to our very own VP + Coach Steve Clair for putting this entire night together 🤩

He believed our building could bring in more — more knowledge, more opportunity, more growth — because he wanted more for our coaches 💪🏻

More development.
More confidence.
More impact on the athletes they lead..

Over 90 coaches in the Fieldhouse tonight because someone saw the bigger picture and made it happen 🫶🏼

Grateful for leaders who don’t just maintain — they elevate. 💙🧡

OKAY WEEKEND JANSEN 15B MVPs — LET’S GO 🔥🥎

What a weekend from these ballers. Impact plays. Game-changers. Straight DAWGS at the Central Iowa Sports Valentine Indoor

💥 Kendall Jansen
Absolutely frustrated pitchers and defenses all weekend — relentless at the plate and a menace on the base paths. Pressure every pitch. Pressure every step. 💨

🧱 Hayleigh Hammen
LOCKDOWN defense at SS/3B. Making unreal plays that straight up stole runs and shut innings down. The kind of defense that changes momentum 👏

⚡ Addi Engelbarts
Elite versatility on display — played 3 different positions and crushed it all weekend. Forced bad throws, took extra bases, and delivered timely steals when it mattered most.💯

🎯 Chloe Vale
HISTORY MADE 💙🧡
100+ career strikeouts with Force
➡️ 102 K’s in 81 innings
Pure grit. Pure dominance. Keep dealing 🔥

So proud of this group. Big moments. Bigger effort 🧡💙
