Bomb Squad 16U and Bomb Squad '95 would like to thank Sue Enquist, the UCLA Staff and players for the awesome 2 day clinic that they put on for us on June 17th and 18th at Canyon High School.  All players, parents and coaches benefitted from Sue's energy, philosophies on the game, and top notch instruction.

The qualities that we look for in our players are commitment, dedication to the team, the willingness to work hard, the ability to accept constructive criticism, the hunger to be pushed and challenged to achieve greater heights, and the desire to strive to be the very best. 

Each one of our players must have the ambition to play softball at the collegiate level.  Our program is designed to prepare our players for the 18 Gold level and later for college softball.  Our coaching staff prides itself in staying educated on the highest level of softball instruction, the college recruiting process, and maximizing the amount of exposure to college coaches.  Fresh off of our run at ASA Nationals in August of '07 in Normal, Illinois, we are looking forward to doing what it takes to qualify for the 16U ASA National Championship in 2008, which will be held in Owensboro, Kentucky.

ABOUT BOMB SQUAD SOFTBALL ORGANIZATION

Bomb Squad Softball is an ASA girls fast-pitch travel softball organization in Anaheim Hills, consisting of six teams - one 10U team, 2 teams in the 12U division, 2 teams in the 14U division and one team at the 16U divison.  It is our goal to develop highly competitive teams that will make a run at ASA Nationals every year, while developing each of our players to help them reach their potential, and prepare them for the highest level of softball. 

In 2004, our first season on the fast-pitch travel softball scene, we consisted of only one 10U team and accomplished many of our goals.  We qualified for the 2004 ASA National Championship in Tulsa, OK, the 2004 Triple Crown World Series in Park City, UT and the 2004 USSSA Western Nationals in Riverside, CA. We completed our inaugural season with second place finishes in both the Triple Crown World Series and the USSSA Western Nationals.  This team  has since moved up to 16U, and has collected two other top ten finishes at national tournaments and placed 33rd (out of 129 teams) at the 2007 14U ASA National Championship in Normal, IL. 

In addition, over the past 4 years, Bomb Squad has fielded 9 teams which have competed against some of the top teams in the country.  Over the same period of time, Bomb Squad teams have finished in the top 10 in national tournaments 9 times, including 6 top 5 finishes and 4 runner up finishes.

We have since added five more teams to our organization and we are determined to develop our players to be the best that they can be, on and off of the field.  Our young ladies learn that through teamwork and having a great work ethic, we can accomplish our goals.
